    2008 champion Scott Dixon's still getting his head around how a rookie driver in a new team pulled off pole position for the Indy 500


    Having never driven in an oval track race - 25-year-old Israeli Robert Shwartzman stunned the motorsport world by qualifying fastest for Monday morning's race at The Brickyard.

    Dixon admits it a shock to see - given Shwartzman was no better than 28th fastest out of 34 drivers on the opening three days of practice.



    Dixon will start the best of the Kiwi drivers in fourth.

    Listen to the full interview from 7 tonight on SportsTalk.
