IndyCar Series: Runners and riders
The unified IndyCar Series may not have had the second year boost many had hoped for, but there is still a strong grid of opposition trying to stop Scott Dixon from winning back-to-back titles. Matt Beer takes you through the runners and riders
Chip Ganassi Racing
#9
Scott Dixon (NZ)
Age: 28
IRL/CCWS starts: 140
IRL/CCWS wins: 17
Titles: 2 (IndyCar, 2003 and 2008)
Last year, Dixon threw away a likely Watkins Glen victory with a spin under yellow and his Ganassi team's strategies at Sears Point and Detroit were poor. Other than thathe was utterly flawless - and there's no reason why that won't be the case again in 2009, which is an ominous prospect for his rivals. His last title defence was spoiled by Toyota falling off the pace, but this time he starts the new year every bit as strong as he ended the last one.
