Dan Helrigel/Penske Entertainment/Indianapolis Motor Speedway Scott Dixon is considered the best IndyCar driver of his era. He'll look to win his second Indianapolis 500 this year. |
Welcome to our monthlong countdown
celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
Scott Dixon has compiled an amazing IndyCar career that continues to be largely underappreciated outside of hardcore fans. He’s now second all-time in victories (56), trailing only A.J. Foyt (67), and added a sixth championship in 2020, one behind Foyt for most all-time.
Given all that success, it’s surprising Dixon has only one Indianapolis 500 victory, which came in 2008. He started on the pole and led the most laps on his way to that victory. He’s more than overdue for a second 500 win. He’s now the all-time leader in laps led with 665, ahead of Al Unser Sr. (644) and Ralph DePalma (612).
Here are some other notable stats from Dixon’s Indianapolis 500 career:
21 starts
15 races led
(tied for most with Tony Kanaan)
13 top 10
finishes
8 top 5
finishes
5 poles
