    Scott Dixon's expecting a more sedate build-up to this year's Indy500

    Scott Dixon's expecting a more sedate build-up to this year's Indy500


    The Kiwi has begun preparations ahead of the race on August 24th.

    But for the first time in the famous race's 109-year history, there won't be any spectators due to Covid-19.

    Dixon says the lack of fans and atmosphere is just one of the differences he's expecting.



    Dixon's only win in the race came in 2008.
