If there’s a perennial favorite in the Indianapolis 500, it’s Scott Dixon, a calm New Zealander who has the most wins of any active IndyCar driver with 44.
“There’s the feeling of wanting to win it the first time, and then once you win it the first time, it’s exaggerated even more,” he said of wanting to win a second 500. “There’s never the issue of the desire.”, ran the fastest lap of 225.517 mph as the field’s 33 drivers practiced for nearly 90 minutes following a Friday morning thundershower. He was followed by rookie Santino Ferrucci and Takuma Sato, the 2017 Indy 500 winner.
Kanaan marveled at the strength of this year’s field. “It’s the most competitive I’ve ever seen in my 18 years here,” said Kanaan, who’s driving for A.J. Foyt Racing. Dixon said the strong field is one reason “it’s always been the hardest race to win.” But speaking of his Ganassi team, he said, “I don’t think we’ve done a superb job of late” preparing the fastest cars.
Dixon’s starting spot is the worst in his 16 previous appearances in the 500, but he knows how to patiently work his way to the front. In 2012, for instance, he finished second after starting 15th.The Indy 500 has a unique lineup for the start, with 11 rows of cars lined up three abreast. Dixon will start in the sixth row with Kanaan and Graham Rahal.
“It's myself, Graham and Dixon, and we're in the middle of the pack, and I don't think we're going to stay there long,” Kanaan said.
