Scott Dixon blazes to Indy 500 pole in record 234 mph run

Not much rattles The Iceman at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, not even record speeds. Scott Dixon smashed the Indianapolis 500 pole-winning record with a breathtaking qualifying run of more than 234 mph. His hands were shaking when he climbed from his car following his first run Sunday, but the New Zealander was unbothered and went back out for a breathtaking final run. “That’s what this place is about, the ups and downs that you have just in one day, it’s crazy,” Dixon said.
