You have to feel for Kenny Brack. He would be thinking "I will easily get around this rookie" little did he know he was trying to pass one of the best drivers in Indycar history 🙂 As a side note: I watched that race live and had tuned in for the first time to see how Scott would do as I'm a kiwi race fan. Decided to keep watching ever since and became a massive indycar fan.
That was a great video. You're similar to Black Flags Matters in regards to the amount of race footage you show, but the difference is that you actually talk and explain what's going on throughout instead of just throwing 10 minutes of footage and spewing out stats at the end. You're a really good YT Creator, and hope you're able to make more INDYCAR content going forward. Scott Dixon is the GOAT.
I agree. Because as a sometime that is not familiar and to many other who like racing, but don't always know the story, it's the story that keeps us interested.
I remember him crashing out at pukekohe. He must have been 14-15 and when he got out he had a cushion tied to his arse to lift him up in his seat. N.Z did a "this is your life" show decades ago. Could make a whole new one
I miss Nazareth. It was a really cool little track. Saw an IRL race there, It was a nice day, then the temp dropped like 30 degrees! It rained a bunch, but they were able to get the race in. Fun Times.
And he was in that series that raced nissan pulsars around the NZ tracks. He had a cushion on his seat because he was so small. Full on ginga with freckles. Come a long way!
The tv and commentators missed Dixon coming in again for a splash and go on lap116 so he had quite a bit more fuel that the five cars in front of him near the end
New Zealand had 3.3 million people. Yet Maclaren is a New Zealander.. Look him up. The logo is a Kiwi ffs. Anyway. Fucking New Zealanders cuzzy. Giving it the Jandal. Yeeeehaaaa
Classic Dixon… and that was still Cart not the indycar series which will happen only a few years later. Every interview with other drivers say that they worry about him every race, no matter where he starts… He’s always in it unless he wrecks.. and that’s rare. I just loved his win in Nashville last year and how it came about…
@@GivingChase2 Well, when I'm talking wrecks... I'm mostly talking the Indy 500 a few years ago that scared little Lucy enough to send him a letter. (man did Scott make a permanent fan with that... if you weren't a Scott Dixon fan before that, seeing that video will certainly make you one after.)... that wreck he was lucky to walk away from. But yeah, I've seen him podium when he bounces off the wall early. If the race comes down to fuel mileage, everyone is always very aware of where he is...
Had Bruce McCaw not left his own team to dry, they would have had the biggest 1-2 punch for years with Scott Dixon & Tony Renna (which they were also Indy lights teammates)
While I was researching and making this video I had never seen Nazareth, but wow what a fantastic track. It's barley an oval and runs more like a highspeed road course, having to brake and downshift in some spots. Such a shame its been let go.
Bullring! Definitely a shame. One of the most exciting tracks on the schedule at the time. If you get a chance, do some research on the 1991 CART race. Good stuff!
I joined iRacing some years ago and found my fun in oval racing. I never heard of that track until today. It's such a unique layout, pretty much no banking like the Milwaukee Mile and the shape from Daytona, Charlotte and so on. Looks pretty fun tbh.
Great to see videos like this. Dixon's fuel saving skill is so good. He would work well even in current non refueling era of F1 where the fuel saving skills are really needed at times.
I was at this race - my first open wheel race. Had a printout of scanner frequencies and driver's names but it was from the year before and didn't have Dixon's name on it. Remember saying to my girlfriend (now wife) "who is this kid in the PacWest car?".
I feel like Nazareth never got enough love as a track in general and most fans nowadays don't even remember it even existed..... and I have a feeling the same is going to happen to Pikes Peak if Penske does nothing (but I'm getting off subject)
Mate! Wonderful video, but if I can give some constructive criticism, while the music is good, it's very repetitive and a gets a bit loud...I think if we had a bit more of engine background it would have been a better experience.
but other than that, I really enjoyed it...watched the whole thing and didn't skip a second...as a new indycar fan (my second year this one), it really helps me understand how Dixon is really made to be legend since always.@@GivingChase2
So you're saying that Scott Dixon's first win and his most recent win are basically the same exact story? Pole Sitter dominates race, while Dixon who started near the rear pits early and stretches his fuel enough to a marginal victory over the car everyone else thought was going to win.
The most Ridiculous Rookie drive in IndyCar History???,,Vince Neil of Motley Crue. You missed. To be fair he was in a Indy Light car ,,but it was a HIDEOUS rookie drive. All were avoiding him, with good concern.
Two major things are lost on the author of this first thing is the bump in the turn that caused the drivers to spin out the other thing is the fact Dale Earnhardt died 3 months before this all forms of racing were throwing the yellow flag quick and early that season because of that there are some other issues that the author is missing but those are the two major ones
Another thing lost on the author of this is the title of the video the most ridiculous drive ever by a rookie in IndyCar history he obviously never watched Juan Montoya 2 years earlier
Sadly Scott Dixon is on a ever growing list of brilliant drivers in indycar that would have excelled in F1 but were either too big and expensive for the smaller teams but too much of a risk for the big teams@@GivingChase2
So basically Dixon got where he got because of all of the yellow flags and where they fell for things that didn't need the yellow flag until De Ferran put Tagliani out. The way Indycar had been in those years makes sense. Also, if you knew PacWest and how they won races previously its not a shock either. This is no big deal.
Scott Dixon using fuel strategy to defeat a much faster Rahal car...
Some things never change🤣
Scott Dixon on an alternate strategy winning out of nowhere? No I don’t believe it 😂
and it happened again 😂
Lol

He was so quick that day too
Kiwis smashing it
Think it’s been a bit of a Kiwi renaissance in international motor racing.
Dixon, Cassidy, Evans, Lawson, McLaughlin etc.
@@pokeboi5438and SVG too!

Thank you 🙏. I’m glad you enjoy them
bloody great video of one of the greatest drivers ever!
as a kiwi I'm a bit biased lol
soo good having McLaughlin and Armstrong in indy now too.
I agree. Because as a sometime that is not familiar and to many other who like racing, but don't always know the story, it's the story that keeps us interested.
this aged so well
Good "tongue in cheek" commentary. Enjoyable.
Awesome video man. Dixon and Mclaughlin are my favorite drivers. You should do a video on Mclaughlin.
I remember him crashing out at pukekohe. He must have been 14-15 and when he got out he had a cushion tied to his arse to lift him up in his seat.
N.Z did a "this is your life" show decades ago.
Could make a whole new one
Crazy how Scott has been at the sharp end for so long
This was the era, late 90s - early 2000s i got into indy. Cars look AWESOME. Never looked back
I was at that race!!!...was a very exciting race and miss that speedway!!!
I miss Nazareth. It was a really cool little track. Saw an IRL race there, It was a nice day, then the temp dropped like 30 degrees! It rained a bunch, but they were able to get the race in. Fun Times.
I remember as a kid watching Scott as a 13 year old on a kids Saturday morning show called What Now about his rally driving, in his mk 2 escort.
And he was in that series that raced nissan pulsars around the NZ tracks. He had a cushion on his seat because he was so small. Full on ginga with freckles. Come a long way!
You a real one 🤙
I'm pretty sure Dixon is the best driver to have never competed in F1.
The tv and commentators missed Dixon coming in again for a splash and go on lap116 so he had quite a bit more fuel that the five cars in front of him near the end
Very interesting
12:36 says it right there on the screen and they say it clear as day, Dixon pitted on 116
This does get shown in the video at 6:45
The views will come man just keep up the good work great video
Was at this race, and thought who is Scott Dixon? Now we know!
Yes, I remember watching that race and was shocked when Dixon took the lead. Good analysis.
Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS ! SO SO BEAUTIFUL
Dixon pulled off another amazing win this past weekend.
ABC got absolutely horrendous about commercial break timing. It's almost like they had exact times scheduled instead of windows.
Saw this about a week ago. Then your other video about the indy road course and guess what? The old man done did it again. He’s a machine.
Channels like yours and Demise90 are criminally underrated. Keep up the good work bro 👍🏽
Appreciate that, thanks!
WATCH: The Absolute Chaos of Indycar at Laguna Seca ruclips.net/video/z5xUL3eDQqE/видео.html
New Zealand had 3.3 million people.
Yet Maclaren is a New Zealander.. Look him up. The logo is a Kiwi ffs.
Anyway.
Fucking New Zealanders cuzzy.
Giving it the Jandal.
Yeeeehaaaa
I've been his fan since i met him that weekend at Nazareth when i was 7. No one knew who he was.
That’s awesome!
Classic Dixon… and that was still Cart not the indycar series which will happen only a few years later. Every interview with other drivers say that they worry about him every race, no matter where he starts… He’s always in it unless he wrecks.. and that’s rare. I just loved his win in Nashville last year and how it came about…
And even when he wrecks he can still be in it, As we saw at Indy a few weeks ago!
@@GivingChase2 Well, when I'm talking wrecks... I'm mostly talking the Indy 500 a few years ago that scared little Lucy enough to send him a letter. (man did Scott make a permanent fan with that... if you weren't a Scott Dixon fan before that, seeing that video will certainly make you one after.)... that wreck he was lucky to walk away from. But yeah, I've seen him podium when he bounces off the wall early. If the race comes down to fuel mileage, everyone is always very aware of where he is...
New Zealanders can drive. Scott Dixon, Scott McLaughlin, Shane Van Gisbergen,
And Chata
Jim "you're a pack of arseholes" Richards.
Just a shame Van Gisbergen can only drive to the point where he thumps people out the way when he can't find a way past
Liam Lawson also in F1 will be one to watch
Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme in F1, and Brendon Hartley in endurance racing as well
We take side by side commercials for granted today. I forgot how bad it was before.
Scott Dixon just defys the physics of fuel and mileage. He does it over and over and over and over
Had Bruce McCaw not left his own team to dry, they would have had the biggest 1-2 punch for years with Scott Dixon & Tony Renna (which they were also Indy lights teammates)
Man, I miss Nazareth!

Look at that young whipper snapper.
Great to see videos like this. Dixon's fuel saving skill is so good. He would work well even in current non refueling era of F1 where the fuel saving skills are really needed at times.
PacWest did have a habit of making some gambling calls on strategy. It payed of sometimes and failed sometimes.
Just Dixon doing the Dixon.
Once again lmao
I was at this race - my first open wheel race. Had a printout of scanner frequencies and driver's names but it was from the year before and didn't have Dixon's name on it. Remember saying to my girlfriend (now wife) "who is this kid in the PacWest car?".
I watched this because the narrator speaks really well
SS wing config on a short oval was a big mistake...
Just what was ridiculous about this race? It was a great race with Dixon having just the right amount of luck. Well done him
Those old Indy cars were monsters
I feel like Nazareth never got enough love as a track in general and most fans nowadays don't even remember it even existed..... and I have a feeling the same is going to happen to Pikes Peak if Penske does nothing (but I'm getting off subject)
Such a cool track.
I only know of this track from the old nascar console games
Racing dinosaurs like bräck and castroneves. Talk about living fossile :)
Only ever raced open wheel cars in America and never bothered with European racing and had no ambitions of F1
not true at all, but ok.
That was a great video
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I miss this track, too.
Scott is the man and a class act
We need Chase back for a Long Beach Dixon video! :)
Funny to think people were wheeling out the line that Scott "makes fuel" in only his 3rd race.
All those yellow flag laps and the coverage kept waiting till things were interesting to go to commercial!
Chur kiwi still breaking records ⛳
Bräck and Dixon are both the most talented drivers in the "after split" era.
I absolutely love your video content. if you ever need help finding stuff or research, I would be glad to assist!
Mate! Wonderful video, but if I can give some constructive criticism, while the music is good, it's very repetitive and a gets a bit loud...I think if we had a bit more of engine background it would have been a better experience.
Thank you for the feedback!

Pretty much haha
"... at the top level of single seater racing." Hmmm. It's a high level but there's a few series higher. Really good video & story though!
Typical PacWest shenanigans.
fabtastic video
The most Ridiculous Rookie drive in IndyCar History???,,Vince Neil of Motley Crue. You missed. To be fair he was in a Indy Light car ,,but it was a HIDEOUS rookie drive. All were avoiding him, with good concern.
I was there!
Would enjoy such videos more without the incessant generic music background.
Was really interested to watch this video, but the music is so darn AWFULLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!

"at the top level of single seater racing", sorry exciting and great, yes definitely, but top level, no not even close
Fair enough!
Sadly Scott Dixon is on a ever growing list of brilliant drivers in indycar that would have excelled in F1 but were either too big and expensive for the smaller teams but too much of a risk for the big teams@@GivingChase2
at the time yea since irl and cart split but you could seriously argue that indy is in that category now
So basically Dixon got where he got because of all of the yellow flags and where they fell for things that didn't need the yellow flag until De Ferran put Tagliani out. The way Indycar had been in those years makes sense. Also, if you knew PacWest and how they won races previously its not a shock either. This is no big deal.
😂 ok mate
The field was stacked with talent and then you mentioned Paul Tracey....😅
PT had a lot of talent and actually used it to do good things back in those days
Since i've watched indycar this guy has lucked into every win ive seen him get
The more skilled a driver you are the luckier you get
