Big Read: After racing in the NTT IndyCar Series for nearly 20 years, Scott Dixon isn't slowing down anytime soon. Now closing in on Mario Andretti on the all-time wins list, Dixon is eyeing a second win at the Indy500. ✍️: Dixononsports
Closing in on Mario Andretti on the all-time wins list, Chip Ganassi's Scott Dixon is eyeing a second win at the Indy 500 — and plenty more years of racingcott Dixon has been racing in the NTT IndyCar Series for nearly 20 years. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver now has 49 career victories, putting him just three back of the legendary Mario Andretti for second place on the all-time American open-wheel racing list, and on Sunday, he’ll be gunning for No.
But we used the downtime well. It was hard for everybody not knowing when the next race was going to be … but we feel very fortunate to be doing what we love. In Texas [for the Genesys 300], the car was very dominant. The Indy road course [for the GMR GP] and Road America were slightly different and we used strategy to our advantage and the team did a fantastic job. To start a season with [three straight wins] was huge for us.
You could see some of the fans beyond the gates [at Road America], but you couldn’t really interact with them, you couldn’t really sign things. So it was still definitely a bit awkward. [Usually] you’re out [meeting fans and sponsors] throughout the weekend and [interacting] throughout the paddock. It’s been very, very surreal.
They’re talking about 25 per cent, which is still a ton of people. I think it will feel very strange. Indianapolis, for the most part, never looks that full no matter what event is there unless it’s the Indianapolis 500 … It’s definitely better than not having fans at all. But, yeah, just a strange situation, again, for many people. But if you’re lucky enough to be in Victory Lane drinking that milk, it’s not going to matter one bit., though you walked away unscathed.
