‘This one hurts the most’: Scott Dixon endures more heartbreak in the Indy 500

INDIANAPOLIS – Scott Dixon has said the Indy 500 doesn’t owe him anything; that he can accept the fact that he is one of greatest drivers in the race’s history but has just one victory to show for his efforts.

After Sunday’s 106th Indianapolis 500, the five-time pole-sitter and six-time NTT IndyCar Series champion may want to rethink that comment.

Entering the race, Dixon had found almost every way imaginable to not win the biggest race of the year, with the exception of his long victory in 2008.

On Sunday, he found a new way to lose.

After starting on the pole and leading 95 of 200 laps, Dixon came onto pit lane as the leader, to make his final pit stop that would take him to an apparent second Indy 500 victory. But when he entered pit road, he had to get on his brakes hard because he came in too fast.

IndyCar Race Control issued a pit lane speeding violation, and the most dominant driver in the field was assessed a drive-through penalty.
