🇳🇿 Scott Dixon

Scott Dixon is an established professional competing in IndyCar, where he drives the No. 9 Dallara for Target Chip Ganassi Racing. He holds Platinum FIA grading in endurance racing and competes across three series: IndyCar as his primary platform, IMSA WeatherTech in multiclass endurance racing, and the World Endurance Championship. Dixon is New Zealand-born and has raced continuously since 2003.[1]

Dixon won five IndyCar championships across 2003, 2008, 2013, 2018 and 2020, accumulating 58 wins and 144 podiums across 395 IndyCar starts. His record spans both oval and road courses; 227 of those starts came on ovals, giving him a broad base across the series' full spectrum. In multiclass endurance racing through IMSA WeatherTech, he has recorded four wins and ten podiums from 33 starts in the DPi, GTLM and GTP classes. His six World Endurance Championship starts yielded one podium finish. His career total stands at 434 starts, 62 wins and 155 podiums.[2]

Dixon's opponents in IndyCar include Graham Rahal, an established professional, whom he typically finishes ahead of, and Helio Castroneves, a professional and 2006 IndyCar champion whose results against Dixon are closely matched. Against Álex Palou, a back-to-back three-time champion in the series and the reigning title-holder, Dixon has finished ahead 51 times from their head-to-head meetings. Palou represents the elite tier of the series and has dominated IndyCar since 2021; the frequency with which Dixon outfinishes him across 24 seasons and 395 starts reflects his depth as a competitor rather than current supremacy over younger rivals establishing themselves as the series' leading drivers.
