Welcome to our monthlong countdown celebrating notable drivers and cars from the Indianapolis 500!
 |
Dan Helrigel/Penske Entertainment Scott Dixon is looking to add another Indianapolis 500 victory to his lone 2008 win, when started from the pole and led 115 laps. |
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 (59), 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 677, ahead of Al Unser Sr. (644) and Ralph DePalma (612).
Here are some other notable stats from Dixon’s Indianapolis 500 career:
- 23 starts
- 16 races led (most ever)
- 14 top 10 finishes
- 9 top 5 finishes
- 5 poles
