Scott Dixon is a New Zealand racing driver who has competed in top-level American open-wheel car races since 2001, winning 59 races and six championships. After winning the Indy Lights title in 2000, Dixon advanced to the CART FedEx Championship Series the following year with PacWest Racing. In his debut at Fundidora Park on March 11, 2001, he led 13 laps and finished 13th. He earned his first career win two races later at Nazareth Speedway, becoming the youngest driver in history to win a CART-sanctioned race. Dixon was named the Rookie of the Year at the end of the 2001 season. In 2002, Dixon moved to Chip Ganassi Racing when PacWest Racing shut down three races into the season.
Dixon and Chip Ganassi Racing defected to the rivaling IRL IndyCar Series in 2003. He earned three wins that season, including his series debut at Homestead–Miami Speedway, and his first series title. Dixon went on to win the IndyCar Series championship again in 2008, 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2020. He also won the series' premier event, the Indianapolis 500, in 2008. As of the 2026 Sonsio Grand Prix, his 59 victories rank him second on the all-time wins list, only behind 67-time winner A. J. Foyt. Dixon also holds the record for the most starts (425), most consecutive starts (362), most seasons with a win (23), and most consecutive seasons with a win (21).
