INDIANAPOLIS- Scott Dixon stayed sad Monday night when he
surpassed the pit path speed limit by one mph on his last stop in the 106th
Indy 500.
"What makes it so hard for me is letting down such
countless individuals," Dixon claimed while the Indianapolis 500."
Marcus Ericsson, Dixon's Chip Ganassi Racing partner, was
feted for his triumph in Sunday's Greatest Spectacle in Racing, procuring $3.1
million from a record handbag of $16 million.
It was the fourth back to the back time that Dixon had begun
first without winning. He completed the 21st and gathered a check for $707,000
in the wake of showing up later than expected to Monday night's service.
NBC and Peacock broadcasted the Victory Celebrationation.
Every Indianapolis 500 driver is called to the platform for a brief meeting.
"Wow, my heart feels for you," Calabro said.
"I got up earlier today pondering you. You drove 95 laps. You and Alex
Palou were focused, having a good time, cruising along, Sunday drive. Did it
seem like that?"
Dixon said, "You can't
picture how I feel, mate.
"It was difficult to accept something I didn't
expect," Dixon proceeded. "It was a genuine bummer. Glancing back at
what truly happened aggravates it.
Dixon and Hull have cooperated for over 20 years and ordered
six NTT IndyCar Series titles and 50 of Dixon's 51 profession triumphs,
including the 2008 Indy 500.
Dixon has battled to finish off races at the Brickyard from
that point forward, with his group frequently leaving the driver on the back
foot.
His No. 9 PNC Bank Honda was so great that he frequently ran
at 90% choke. During the second-to-last stretch, Dixon had the option to
fabricate a massive hole as the group mimicked the speed required for the last
fuel run.
Dixon had the option
to match the generally 4.5 miles per gallon than those in rush hour gridlock
were settling the score while he was driving the race.
Saving money on fuel and speed quickly worked out positively
for Dixon until his last stop, when he made the fundamental blunder. He was
slower on the in-lap to the pits since he got held up by traffic.
Entering excessively quick for his last stop, Dixon hit the
brakes and smoked the back tires to get under the pit path speed limit.
After Race Control called the punishment, Dixon shouted,
"You must mess with me."
On Monday night, Dixon was asked whether he realised his
vehicle was over as far as possible.
In Sunday's race, Dixon turned into the unsurpassed lap
pioneer in Indianapolis 500 history, outperforming Ralph De Palma and the late
four-time Indy 500 champ Al Unsere.
Dixon demonstrated he stayed a cooperative person and was
pleased with Ericsson winning the Indianapolis 500 without precedent for his
profession. Dixon knows that inclination from when he won the 2008 Indianapolis
500.
Chip Ganassi Racing colleague Tony Kanaan, who drove eight of
his initial 11 Indy 500 beginnings before dominating the race in 2013, can
connect with Dixon's new dissatisfaction.
"I realise how awful the inclination of my dear
companion is. That is the thing that will torment him a lot for a tad,"
said Kanaan.
"It's one thing when something beyond your control
occurs, yet it's quite hard when we as drivers commit an error. Yet, knowing
his identity, I prefer not to say it; it's simply going to improve him."
