    Scott Dixon Wins Pole, Breaks Indy 500 Qualifying Record in the Process

    Everything about the Indianapolis 500 helps set it apart as the biggest auto racing event on the annual calendar. From the elaborate qualifying procedures which played out over the course of two separate days to the three-wide starting formation for the race itself, the Indy 500 is truly a race like no other. Thanks to Scott Dixon, an all-time Indy 500 qualifying speed record was established this past weekend.

    Dixon has had a phenomenal career in the NTT IndyCar Series. However, the native of New Zealand is itching to get back to victory lane in the Indianapolis 500 itself. Dixon won the Indy 500 in 2008 but has failed to reach the top of the mountain since. He was considered a favorite ahead of last year’s race after winning the pole position. Well, Dixon managed to replicate that feat and will once again be the pole-sitter in the 2022 Indy 500 starting lineup.

    Scott Dixon becomes a FIVE-TIME #Indy500 polesitter with a breathtaking, stunning 234.046 mph average. Only Rick Mears (six) has more Indy poles.

    Front row for Sunday's race:

    41-year-old Scott Dixon
    25-year-old Alex Palou (233.499 mph)
    21-year-old Rinus VeeKay (233.385 mph)

    Making his run to the front of the Indianapolis 500 starting lineup all the more impressive was that Dixon actually set a record in the process. Known as the “Flying Kiwi”, the 41-year-old veteran certainly was flying during Indy 500 qualifying. His four-lap average speed of 234.046 mph broke the record for the fastest Indianapolis 500 qualifying run in the history of the race. As a result, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver will start on point in the Indy 500 starting lineup for the second year in a row and the fifth time in his impressive IndyCar Series career.

    Indianapolis 500 Qualifying Notes

    • Scott Dixon set a qualifying speed record on his way to capturing the pole position. This is the fifth time that the 2008 Indy 500 champion has started the race on the pole.
    • Dixon may have been the fastest of them all, but the entire Chip Ganassi Racing fleet stole the show in qualifying. Defending IndyCar Series Champion Alex Palou will join Dixon on the front row in the Indianapolis 500 starting lineup. Marcus Ericsson and Tony Kanaan will both start on Row 2, giving CGR four of the top six starting spots.
    • The only other race team to earn a starting position on the first two rows was Ed Carpenter Racing. Rinus VeeKay will be the third car in Row 1 for Sunday’s race while Ed Carpenter himself will start fourth.
    • Team Penske is noticeably absent from the front of the Indy 500 starting lineup. Will Power was the fastest Penske Chevrolet in qualifying, but he will only be starting 11th.
    • Defending Indianapolis 500 race winner Helio Castroneves is back to defend his throne with Meyer Shank Racing. Unfortunately, he will have work to do if he is to win his record-setting fifth career Indy 500. Castroneves will start 27th after a lackluster qualifying run.
    • Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jimmie Johnson is set to make his Indianapolis 500 debut this season. Johnson qualified 12th, the worst starting spot of the five Chip Ganassi Racing cars. However, he was the second-fastest of the seven Indy 500 rookies who qualified for this year’s race.
