🗣 'Yesterday was decent but we just had a bit of an issue there.' Scott Dixon admits that his bid to equal Rick Mears’ record of Indy500 pole positions this weekend is 'compromised' by an enforced overnight engine change ⬇️
’s Dixon suffered an issue with his 2.2-litre, twin-turbo Honda V6 on his final run in Friday practice that he said puts his team “on the backfoot”. He has started on pole for the last two Indy 500s, and has five to his name compared to Mears' all-time record six.
“It’s just a bit of a process, you’ve got to get miles on it, so it definitely puts you in a bit of a compromised position,” he told NBC Peacock. “We tried to get some miles on it this morning, and we’ll try again later [in qualifying] – we may have to do a few runs to get everything dialled in.
