BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Scott Dixon looks around the IndyCar paddock and sees drivers half his age acting like A.J.
Foyt even if they’ve never crossed the finish line first. They are young and brash with the same swagger of “Super Tex,” the winningest driver in IndyCar history. “Most of them rock up these days feeling, you know, it seems like they’ve won everything in the world already, you know?” Dixon said Friday. ”You definitely see the changing of the guard, which is always interesting." The Iceman isn't ready to pass the torch anytime soon.
Dixon begins his 21st season in IndyCar with Sunday's season-opening race at Barber Motorsports Park in pursuit of Foyt's all-time marks.
