New Zealand · Born 1980 · #60 Acura ARX-06 · Acura Meyer Shank Racing
Six IndyCar championships. Four Rolex 24 wins. Multiple Indianapolis 500 appearances and victories. Scott Dixon's record is without parallel in contemporary American motorsport. At 45, he remains competitive at the highest level — a testament to physical fitness, mental acuity, and an undiminished desire to compete.
Scott Dixon was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1980. He moved through junior racing categories, eventually arriving in the United States where he joined Chip Ganassi Racing — a partnership that has defined his entire IndyCar career and produced one of the most successful driver-team relationships in motorsport history.
His six IndyCar championships span more than two decades: 2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, 2018, and 2020. No other driver in IndyCar history has won more championships. The consistent excellence across such a long time span — competing against generations of rivals who arrived as hot prospects and often burned bright before fading — speaks to something rare: a driver who continues to improve, adapt, and maintain the mental edge required to win.
Dixon's IndyCar record includes the Indianapolis 500 victory in 2008, wins at dozens of ovals and road courses, and a reputation for technical brilliance combined with controlled, precise racecraft. He is not a flashy driver — he doesn't take unnecessary risks, he manages resources expertly, and he maximizes results in whatever machinery he's given.
Alongside his IndyCar career, Dixon has competed regularly in endurance racing — particularly at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. His four Daytona victories demonstrate that his ability to manage cars and strategy over long distances translates perfectly from IndyCar to sportscar racing.
At Sebring 2026, Dixon joins the Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 alongside Tom Blomqvist and Colin Braun. His IndyCar background — racing on both oval and road courses, developing cars technically, managing a full championship calendar — gives him a comprehensive approach to every racing situation he encounters.
Competing at age 45 in a 12-hour race is physically demanding. Dixon's extraordinary fitness regime — developed and maintained across a professional career spanning more than two decades — ensures he can still deliver peak performance in any stint he takes. His physical condition at 45 is reportedly comparable to many drivers a decade younger.
New Zealand is a small country with an outsized motorsport heritage. Bruce McLaren (who founded McLaren) was New Zealander. Denny Hulme, the 1967 F1 World Champion, was New Zealander. The current generation includes Dixon, Earl Bamber, Shane van Gisbergen, and other top-tier talents. Dixon stands at the pinnacle of that tradition — the most decorated New Zealand racing driver in history by championship count.
2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 — six IndyCar titles with Chip Ganassi Racing. The next closest driver in IndyCar championship history has five titles (A.J. Foyt). Dixon's total may never be surpassed. Each championship required a full season of consistent excellence across the series' demanding mix of ovals and road courses — not a single lucky break, but sustained dominance over 20+ years.
Dixon's entire IndyCar career has been with Chip Ganassi Racing — a partnership stretching back to 2002. In an era when drivers switch teams frequently, this loyalty and continuity is extraordinary. The partnership has been mutually beneficial: Ganassi gets the most decorated IndyCar driver of the modern era, and Dixon gets world-class equipment and support. He also drives for Ganassi's Acura IMSA program in select endurance events.
