Scott Dixon seeks his third Road America win in the REV Group Grand Prix Presented by American Medical Response on June 20th in Elkhart Lake but admits his memorable race moment at the 4.048-mile permanent road course wasn’t a victory.
Dixon was a CART Series rookie driving for PacWest Racing in 2001 when the New Zealander competed in his first event at the track. A spirited battle between Dixon and Michael Andretti a couple of decades ago is the most vivid memory for the rookie of the year candidate. “We had a hot battle,” Dixon said of Andretti, who won four open-wheel championships. “Michael kind of ran me off in the grass, the little straight there between (turns) three and four, and we made a bit of contact in five.”
The weekend schedule, June 17-20, will also be bolstered by Vintage Indy and the Radical Cup series, plus two junior development series of the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires, the Indy Pro 2000, and USF2000, of which many drivers of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES are graduates. Tickets are available, and fans are welcome.
