Kiwi Scott Dixon is the first New Zealander to win the Indy 500 in his sixth attempt for Chip Gannasi Racing. Only two other New Zealanders have ever raced the Indy 500 - Denny Hulme (1967, 1968, 1969, and 1971) and Graham McRae (1973). Brazilian Vitor Meira was second with American Marco Andretti third. “I can’t believe it,” an ecstatic Dixon said. “We seemed to ...

Polesitter Scott Dixon was just too much in the final stages for Vitor Meira and Marco Andretti and has won the 92nd Indianapolis 500. He won by two seconds over Meira and has become the first New Zealander to win the world’s greatest race.

The lead is getting smaller for Scott Dixon over Vitor Meira and Marco Andretti, but can they get by the No. 9 Target car in time?

Scott Dixon maintains a lead of a couple of car lengths, but he can’t shake Vitor Meira, Helio Castroneves and Marco Andretti with 20 laps left.

Can polesitter Scott Dixon shut down his pursuers in the late stages or can Vitor Meira, Helio Castroneves, Marco Andretti or rookie Ryan Hunter-Reay get by him and score the victory? Here’s your top ten with 25 laps left in the 92nd Indianapolis 500: 1. Dixon 2. Meira 3. Castroneves 4. Andretti 5. Hunter-Reay 6. Buddy Rice 7. Ed Carpenter 8. Hideki Mutoh 9. Oriol ...

Ed Carpenter is staying out for track position and now holds the lead over Scott Dixon and Vitor Meira, Helio Castroneves and Marco Andretti under yellow on Lap 157.

Scott Dixon holds a lead of roughly four-tenths of a second with fifty laps to go in the Indianapolis 500. Tomas Scheckter remains in third, followed by Vitor Meira and Helio Castroneves to round out the top five. Dan Wheldon, an early contender today, has fallen fast and is now languishing in 14th position. If Dixon is to hold on and win, he may have to do it without the help of his teammate.

On the restart at Lap 140, Scott Dixon powered past Marco Andretti into Turn 1 to re-assume control of the point. Meanwhile, Helio Castroneves has re-emerged as a threat and now runs in fifth place, four seconds behind the leader.

Dan Wheldon got a draft from teammate Scott Dixon and used it to rocket past him in Turn 1 to re-take the lead on Lap 75. A little farther back, Marco Andretti has gotten by Tomas Scheckter for the fourth position.

So far, the two Target Chip Ganassi Racing pilots have led the way throughout with Scott Dixon maintaining his lead over teammate Dan Wheldon. Tony Kanaan is third, followed by Tomas Scheckter and Marco Andretti. Give a call to Darren Manning, who’s jumped from 14th starting position to his current position of sixth on the track.

A.J. Foyt IV is out of the car and alert after a fire erupted on his No. 2 Vision Racing Dallara during his pit stop at Lap 39. The fire is out, but the grandson of four-time Indy 500 winner A.J. Foyt Jr. may be done for the day. His Vision crew are now looking over the car right now. Graham Rahal is also okay after his incident that triggered this current yellow period.

Graham Rahal’s first Indianapolis 500 will be memorable for all the wrong reasons. The 19-year-old phenom has destroyed the right side of his car after crashing into the wall in Turn 4 while trying to pass another car on the high side. His No. 06 car then skidded along the frontstretch wall to a stop a little bit beyond the yard of bricks. Caution is out as we get ready to hit the ...

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, or as I like to call it "The Best Motorsports Weekend of the Year" (tm). What makes it so great? I'm glad you asked. The three major racing series (NASCAR, Formula 1, and IRL) host one of their marquee races this weekend. In the case of F1 and IRL, it is the big race of the year. For NASCAR, it's the longest race of the year, and one of the most exciting ...
