Scott Dixon wins the Pole Position for the 106th Indianapolis 500

This is the 7th time Chip Ganassi Racing won pole at the Indianapolis 500 (Scott Dixon: 2021, 2017, 2015, 2008; Bruno Junqueira: 2002; Arie Luyendyk: 1993). This extends Chip Ganassi’s position for the 2nd-most in race history.
Chip Ganassi Racing is the first team to start 1-2 on the grid of the Indianapolis 500 since 2010.
This is just the 2nd time CGR has ever started 1-2 in the Indianapolis 500, also accomplishing the feat in 2008 (Scott Dixon, Dan Wheldon).
Dixon has now secured the 2nd-most pole positions in Indianapolis 500 history. Only Rick Mears (6) has more.
Dixon is the first driver to win pole position in consecutive years since Ed Carpenter in 2013-14.
This is the 28th all-time pole victory for Dixon, taking sole possession for 10th-most in all-time INDYCAR SERIES history.

It really pisses me off that Scott is one of the best drivers of his generation and here in NZ his achievements go alomst unnoticed. If he'd had as much success playing rugby or cricket they'd wheel him out every year to talk about his legend, but because he drives in Indycar in the US, his feats are alway snubbed. Go for it Scotty, win that cup.

[@dougswamprat5275]

Yeah, rugby is the reason. It's the same in Aus, haven't heard a thing about Will Power since living here.

[@johnnyweaver9946]

Scott it at the level or even above the level of Lewis Hamilton and doesn’t get the recognition… an absolute legend

[@WKSchwenke]

Completely agree. NZs greatest ever motorsports driver by a country mile. It’s a shame NZ isn’t as proud of him as he is to be a kiwi

@@WKSchwenke Ogier Hamilton Dixon Leob and Gordon are all the best drivers since the year 2000

What a God

[@richardjohnson8525]

100% great driver

[@VampireYoshi]

Shades of Mears, the only one ... currently ... with more. He's also now second to Mario for the latest career pole (1987 was Mario's 22nd Race).
