Six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon added another accolade to a career filled with remarkable achievements.
While making his 400th and 401st IndyCar starts at the Milwaukee Mile, the New Zealander’s run to second on Sunday in the No. 9 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda delivered his 142nd podium, which moved him to first on the all-time list ahead of the legend of legends, Mario Andretti.
“It’s cool. Obviously Mario, I’m a massive fan of Mario. He’s a huge part of our series,” Dixon said. “Again, I keep saying it, but it’s so cool that him and A.J. [Foyt] and many others, whether it’s Rick [Mears], come to a lot of our races. Obviously Mario raced in a lot of different categories, as well, and achieved many great things.”
Dixon sits second to Foyt on the all-time championships roster, one shy of Super Tex’s seven, and second on the all-time win list with 58 to Foyt’s 67.
“Just to be mentioned with any of those guys is very special,” Dixon added.
