Dixon has finished second in the opening race, the St Petersburg Grand Prix in Florida.
Dixon, who started fourth on the grid, finished behind American Josef Newgarden.
Pole-sitter Will Power of Australia was third.
Dixon said: "All in all, a great day for the whole PNC Bank crew. Pit stops were phenomenal. Great points. Obviously, we were going for a win, so we just came one stop short, but congrats to Josef. Drove a hell of a race there and great strategy."
Newgarden takes a 13-point lead over Dixon into the second round of the series in Austin, Texas on March 24th.
