Great Scott - Kiwi Dixon wins Indy...

Great Scott! Kiwi driver Scott Dixon wins Indy 500 car in US. He was the third New Zealand driver ever to participate in the premier car racing event at the "brickyard" and the first to win it. He was never further back than fourth in the race. He banks a cool $3 million for winning the race.

It was the biggest success by a Kiwi driver since Denny Hulme won the World Formula One title a few decades ago.

He drew the pole position after being the fastest qualifier for one of the world's most famous races.

Its one of the real great...

sporting achievements. The Indy 500 is second only to the Nascars in the US and in the top three in world racing. For a Kiwi it ranks with Denny Hulme's World Formula One title in 1967
- which included a number of winning races.
