Well done that man

He doesn't get to keep all of the prize-money.$3 mil merkin for a days work not bad
Many years ago Scott needed serious financial backing to get a start in the off-shore racing circuits. So a group of NZ businessmen put up the money and essentially financed him into it. They did it on the basis that if he ever started to win, they would be entitled to a share of his future winnings.
Looks like they made a very good decision to back Scott!
Rest In Peace
It's great isn't it. He has always been a road track man and hates the ovals. When INDY does road circuits he's almost always been in the top three and this year with the amalgamation with C.A.R.T. there's going to be more road circuits so rockon for the championship. Last year to lose the championship on the last corner of the last lap of the last race would be enough to make you hang up yer teddy bear.
I bet he's still disappointed too ... he has only ever wanted to be a Formula One driver. He had one unsuccessful test with Williams and now I think he's probably regarded as "too old". I'm sure he's earning a sh*t load more munny than a middle-of-the-pack F1 driver.
Slowest cnut in the Bay
Apparantely he paid all those folk back ages ago according to a story on the TV.
Just faidin away!
He's a ginger too isn't he? doing it for the gingers!Nice one Scott Dixon.
Cheers John.
Who You Calling a Pig
Amsome stuff, he certinly deserves it.
Im with Dooly, the company that was set up to back him has been well and truly wound up and all the share holders paid out, however I think you will find that the 3 mill goes to the team and then Dixon will get a percentage share of that.
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round
.....your time is coming
Well a Yank didn't win...that's main thing.Apparantely the Ozzies are claiming him as theirs!
He was born there tho, but..........c'mon...
Either way in a relatively short time he has put a lot into where he is nowr and I am pretty certain his folks put up their house too...a true sports person...
Congratulations Scott and congratulations New Zealand! Big weekend for NZ with 3rd place the day before in Indylights and now the 500
Shows what a boy from south auckland can achieve
ps. Scott's new wife isn't too bad on the eye eh?
.....your time is coming
He was born in Queensland and came here at an early age and races under the Kiwi Flag...but hang on he moved to USA in 1999 so surely he is an American now????Congratulations Scott and congratulations New Zealand! Big weekend for NZ with 3rd place the day before in Indylights and now the 500

Truly well deserved...He's put everything into his career and I applaud him for that. It's taken a lot of work to overcome his shyness, but now he's just a top man.
He SHOULD win the Sportsman of the Year title! After all, it's the biggest single sporting event in the world.

braaap
he calls himself a kiwi, surely thats all that matter .....
He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man
.....your time is coming
Mmmm...nop...it's like a Polar Bear wanting to be a Black Bear...
The TV collector.
Yeah sweet! Where does that leave him championship wise?
Forum whore
I think 6 points in the lead. Or is that Hamilton in F1..?
You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

3 point lead for Hammie I think, when Kimi crashed into the back of that McLaren I switched it off.
Hope Dixon can put the championship to bed this year.
