Scott Dixon will be chasing his second Indianapolis 500 victory from deep in the field on Sunday after an uncharacteristically poor qualifying effort. But there are reasons to believe Dixon can reach victory lane in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” for the first time since 2008.
Scott Dixon , of New Zealand, leads a pack of cars into a turn during a practice session for the Indianapolis 500 auto race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Monday, May 20, 2024, in Indianapolis.

Two decades ago, when Dixon was just starting out in IndyCar and his longtime team, Chip Ganassi Racing, was running underpowered Toyota engines, he learned how to conserve fuel better than just about anyone. He figured it was the best way that he could win a race, and he wound up proving the point late in the 2005 season at Watkins Glen.
That’s why the primary sponsor of his car, PNC Bank, seized on the idea with the whole “Brilliantly Boring” campaign.Dixon is a testament to doing it well.He’s been on the pole five times, including 2008, when he also reached victory lane. He has led the race 15 times, tied with Tony Kanaan for the most in its history.
