Scott Dixon

Dixon finished third in the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Dixon led the Miller Lite Carb Day final practice for the 108th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, as Honda-powered drivers turned the qualifying form chart upside-down with two days remaining before "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing", IndyCar.com reports.

Persistent rain curtailed the opening day of practice for the 108th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, as the 2.5-mile oval was open for just 23 minutes. Speeds were impressive none-the-less as Dixon led at 229.107 mph in the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, IndyCar.com reports.

Dixon proved yet again Sunday that almost nothing is impossible for him behind the wheel of a race car, winning the Acura Long Beach Grand Prix with a dramatic blend of patience and aggression over the closing laps, IndyCar.com reports.

When the going gets most chaotic, nobody in the NTT IndyCar Series finds a smooth path to Victory Lane better than Dixon. He did it again Sunday, overcoming a starting grid penalty and an early on-track penalty and adapting strategy to multiple caution periods to win the season-ending Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
