Scott Dixon’s 52 Indy car wins

Dixon has scored five wins from his 47 starts in sportscar racing, which is pretty impressive when you consider that four of those triumphs came in the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona and the other was in Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. And to think that’s just his side-job…

His main duty, of course, is winning Indy car races and championships for Chip Ganassi Racing, and at this Dixon has proven exceptional over the last couple of decades. All but one of his 52 triumphs have been at the wheel of Chip’s cars, and he has scored at least one win in 20 of his 22 seasons at the top.

Racking up six championships is one thing, managing to finish a season in the top three on seven other occasions just shows the breadth, depth and longevity of his talents and of Ganassi’s mighty team.

Here then, is Dixon’s list of triumphs – so far…

In 2002, Dixon started the first three races in PacWest’s Lola-Toyota, but joined Chip Ganassi Racing for the balance of the season, again running a Lola-Toyota. In this, Dixon’s best result of the year was a runner-up finish in Denver (above) behind Ganassi teammate Bruno Junqueira. He would finish 13th in the CART points race.
