Racing driver Scott Dixon hoping for Indy 500 win

From Morning Report, 8:42 am on 25 May 2018

The Auckland motor racing driver Scott Dixon is feeling confident going into Monday morning's Indianapolis 500 and says last year's spectacular high-speed crash is not playing on his mind. Dixon was caught up in another driver's accident and was lucky to emerge unscathed after his car was sent flying through the air at more than 350 kmh before hitting a barrier. The 37-year old told RNZ sports reporter Barry Guy his focus is on repeating his 2008 Indy 500 win, but that will mean a lot needs to come together on the day.
