Dixon is a true Kiwi, a battler, fights like he's the underdog. Congratulations, Scott, from 5 million other Kiwi's who share your fighting spirit with you.😊
and now another win at the Bommarito 500 🇳🇿 go the kiwi's I don't usually wish bad luck but hopefully Palau stays towards the back end and my boy Scotty one can come through for the most unlikely of championships. 🙏🇳🇿🙏 *hopefully Scotty two can climb some places as well
Scott Dixon is a machine. The fact that his only winless years in CART/IndyCar are 2002 (his team folded mid-season then he went to Ganassi in a third car, who probably had one eye on their impending switch to the IRL for 2003) and 2004 (Toyota had a poor engine) is mad. And it's rare that he's not in at least mathematical contention for the championship in the final few rounds of a given season. His consistency is pretty immense. I suppose part of it is team stabiltiy; he's been with Ganassi for over twenty years after all, but mostly it's just his driving. He's always just there, hovering in the background, picking up wins, even if only one or two a season, and just generally racking up the points. Easily the GOAT of modern IndyCar.
Great work on your race coverage. Rahal’s a good driver, I was rooting for him. But Dixon’s a legend, along with Mike Hull for strategy. So many drivers can’t think past a lap, or even an overtake. To re-calculate your race, and keep your cool never giving up. No wonder that guy has so many championships under his belt. Master class from a Legend.
I noticed that after the first round of pit stops that it was possible for Dixon to win and I bet the live line accordingly. Can’t believe the announcers missed it. Biggest winner of the year for me outside of Newgarden at Indy. Dixon is such a legend
That’s awesome. I was at the race watching the live timing on my phone, and I swear every time I looked Scott was top 3 fastest on track. And yea after that first stop I was like, holy shit Dixon can win this thing.
After he made it to about lap 30 I was thinking the exact same thing and couldn’t believe it took the announcers another 20ish laps to mention he had a shot. Fun to witness such a great drive in person.
@@AZBCDEEto be fair Dixon was a big contributor to Dario's 4 championship wins, a great team mate. Today Dixon won Long Beach 2024 to give him his 20th yr with a win, Dario was one of the 1st to congratulate him.
True masterclass from a true legend. Really like the guy, same age as him, just absolute respect for perserverance and talent. Love your videos man, please keep doing them!
Damn brilliant commentary, and coverage.!! What's even more impressive, is that you take the time and interest in your viewers to respond to their comments. Very professional !!
I am just so proud to be a KIWI , having McLaughlin, Dixon, and Armstrong competing with the best racers in the world it's so unreal for such a small country to be so competitive........😊
i was getting peeved watching the race as the commentators were biased towards Rahal imo and had only the leader board to rely on the progress of Dixon but it's understandable i guess, great coverage and thanks for the vid. greetings from New Zealand/Aotearoa.
3:26 Not gonna lie when I heard that comment from TBell the first time, I was shocked. At that point I was sure that Dixon was gonna go to the alternate strategy because it seemed so clear that if Dixon can do 26 laps, he can do them for the rest of the race
I can't see this record being broken by anyone else but himself .....ever with all the other series available and the skills needed, maybe only an American can do it ? brought in really young. but kiwi owns this 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 Big Dicky for ever 🙏🇳🇿
should do a video on drivers from New Zealand 🙏🇳🇿😂 Dixon, McLaughlin, lawson, Hartley, Cassidy, Evans, Halliday, Bamber, Murphy, SVG and the Millen and Richards families are recent greats, plus some I've forgotten. Also legends like Mclaren, Amon, hulme. others like mad Mike, Aaron slight and the absolute genius mind of John Britten, who's motorcycle built in a shed took on the world when it couldn't be done. The daytona footage is goosebumps material.
Today 21st April 2024 Dixie wins Long Beach GP so the record extends to 20 yrs in a row with a win. Will take heaps to take that record. Kiwis can fly.
if Dixon goes another 5 years and picks up 1 or 2 wins a year , he could actually match or beat Foyt's all time wins record . and he looks like he could do another 5 years with ease .
@@GivingChase2 oh for sure. He has never been an obvious fast guy. He can be but he is consistently fast and smooth and often will use less fuel than any other guy by a long shot. This will win races because it gives the strategy options on fuelling less and shorter stops. That is free time. Couple that with his consistently being fast and he just ends up winning. And what is galling is after two decades people still wonder what he is doing. I was there Saturday and I figured it out when he cycled to the lead and stayed out long past the others in that first half of the race. How Townsend Bell seemed doubtful about this working is stunning. I knew if he didn't win it was only Graham who was going to beat him.
what bugs me is that Andretti could have done the same thing but Herta / Grosjean pitted early, I get Dixon is the master but they didnt even give their drivers a chance
He passed them through the pit cycle, he stayed out longer than the cars ahead of him. when they pitted and came back out he's now way far ahead but has yet to pit. he was able to drive fast enough in that period that once he pitted he came out ahead of 5 cars he was previously behind before everyone took their first pit stop.
Seeing he passed the whole field,I would like to see every pass ,because I personally think that wasn't possible,I'm shure the lap counting administration is faulty, otherwise his car was twice as fast than all competition,just doesn't make sense????????????

Dixon is so underrated..... the camera is not on his car enough either. He's a forgotten multi champion.

but kiwi owns this 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
Big Dicky for ever 🙏🇳🇿
Nothing else to say.........legendary😎
As someone who was there, everyone in my grand stand thought it was over for Dixon. Never would have thought he would win after lap 1
that’s why he’s the best
Great video
Even though I'm primarily a NASCAR fan, I have no doubt that Indycar had the more exciting race. Hell of a weekend to be a racing fan!
Absolutely 💯
only in Indy ...23rd to 1st ! Excellent analytical commentary .
Appreciate that!
The Goat ... 🎤
Chur kiwi still breaking records ⛳

Thank You! lol
if Dixon goes another 5 years and picks up 1 or 2 wins a year , he could actually match or beat Foyt's all time wins record . and he looks like he could do another 5 years with ease .
He needs almost 3 wins per year over five years but it is an outside possibility
would be insane !!!
just needs a few good years with a good team. I think he has the team and the drive 🙏🇳🇿❤️
@@DaleC1980 2.4 wins now ...
dude's been a threat since the Bush administration
Lmao 🤣
Hello!.❤😂
Dixon makes fuel.
dunno if there's another sport which has anything like a comparison?
Scott plays Chess, the rest play checkers. He out smarted them all
and he's been doing it for DECADES
@@GivingChase2 oh for sure. He has never been an obvious fast guy. He can be but he is consistently fast and smooth and often will use less fuel than any other guy by a long shot.

Don’t short change Mike Hull. Dixon is a masterful driver but the #9 PNC Bank team is top notch up and down
@@DaleC1980 true. Mike is smart, but I think he needs a talent like Dixon to pull off some of the stunts he does
what bugs me is that Andretti could have done the same thing but Herta / Grosjean pitted early, I get Dixon is the master but they didnt even give their drivers a chance
Great point.
@@GivingChase2but they can't.
Dixon makes fuel like nobody else ever.
he did it again the weekend after at the Bommarito 500 😂🇳🇿❤️
Jeeveo, ever heard the expression ' coulda, woulda, shoulda.! '. ( or something like that ).?
Indy,NASCAR New Zealand drivers will dominate American racing.
Thats okay because we love you guys coming and enjoying our culture and vise versa. Kiwis are cool
@@precesionnoreaster1507yep.. We even shoot laser beams out of our eyeballs. 🙃
Hey Hayden, probably lost on most non-Kiwi's, but hilarious retort.!
While he was in the pits he advanced 5 places?????????????????
He passed them through the pit cycle, he stayed out longer than the cars ahead of him. when they pitted and came back out he's now way far ahead but has yet to pit. he was able to drive fast enough in that period that once he pitted he came out ahead of 5 cars he was previously behind before everyone took their first pit stop.
Seeing he passed the whole field,I would like to see every pass ,because I personally think that wasn't possible,I'm shure the lap counting administration is faulty, otherwise his car was twice as fast than all competition,just doesn't make sense????????????
dixon was the only car on track that only did 2 green flag pit stops, everyone else did 3.
He didn’t have to be twice as fast as the competition. Being 1% faster over the whole race would do it.
Kiwi's CAN fly. !!
Yo stop whistling while saying the letter S PLEASE
Indie cars need to get there lap counting and race control sorted ,go in the pits and come out 6-8 places ahead of cars still circulating??????????
The timing is accurate. Dixon did one less stop.
Learn how to spell “IndyCar” and “their” before trying to fix the highly sophisticated timing and scoring system of IndyCar. Everyone else pitted too.
Great video.
