It’s officially the week of the Indianapolis 500, one of the biggest motor sports events in the world, and six-time IndyCar Series champ Scott Dixon won the pole in record-breaking style at the end of last weekend’s two-day qualifying sessions.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because it is. Dixon won his fifth career and second consecutive Indy 500 pole Sunday, and to get there, he put up the fastest pole speed in race history at 234.046 miles per hour for a four-lap average, breaking a mark from 1996.
But he’s got steep competition from the other 32 drivers in the field.
