Scott McLaughlin is a New Zealand racing driver competing in the IndyCar Series for DXDT Racing. Before moving to open-wheel competition in the United States, he built his reputation in the Supercars Championship in Australia, where he won three consecutive drivers' titles. That background in touring car racing established him as one of the most accomplished New Zealand exports to reach American motorsport.[1]

In IndyCar, McLaughlin remains active and has yet to win a series championship, though he has built a solid record with seven career wins, 25 podiums, and 99 starts. He currently holds a Racer Rating of 5,636, placing him 227th among active drivers on that scale. In the 2026 season, he has taken two podiums without a win across 10 rounds, sitting second in the standings, a result that reflects his continued consistency as one of the series' established front-runners.[2]
