This coming weekend is the beginning of the 2026 Indy Car season with the Firestone St. Petersburg Grand Prix on February 27 through March 1.

There is a major team change with Will Power moving over to Team Andretti after years at Team Penske. Mick Schumacher is coming over to race with Rahal Letterman Racing which should be very interesting too.

Alex Palou and Scott Dixon are staying in their familiar liveried cars and will keep Chip Ganassi Racing on top for sure.

Joseph Newgarden and Patricio O'Ward will be hot on everyone's tail and look fast.

So pick you driver and get ready for a new season of great racing.

Enjoy a look at the cars at Road American last year. 

Hoping that my cancer saga will be a lot better by the time they get to Road America this year.  It just drains me of energy. It has been almost 3 years but on February 18th my neph tube was taken out. It was in for 18 months and used for chemotherapy. The rest of my chemotherapy sessions will be straight into the bladder.  With the tube out ,hopefully I won't get anynore urinary tract infections. 

Thanks,

Sir Scott Dixon has always been a favorite race car driver since his early days in 2001 at Pac West Racing in the CART Indy Car Racing Series.

In 2002 he switched to Chip Gannasi Racing as Pac West Racing (1998-2000) folded due to finances. Scott continues race with Chip Ganassi Racing.

Stefan Johansen was helping Scott during his first days in 1998 and continues as his manager helping him secure his ride at Chip Gannasi Racing in 2002.

Sir Scott or Dixie as a lot of people call him, has won in about all divisions of racing he has entered since 1998.

He is also the nicest and one of the most humble guys in the paddock. He is married to an Olympic runner, Emma. They have a nice little family of 3 kids.

The Rolex 24 hours at Daytona has been a favorite IMSA race of his for years. He has won it 3 times.

At the end of this coming Indy Car season he will be knighted in England for all he has done during his racing career, hence Sir Scott!

A good example is that he is donating $300,000. to a young Australian boy who swam a long distance to save his mother in the ocean. She drifted away paddle boarding.

That boy has a great future in swimming and Scott's donation will help his swimming career.

Here are some photos of Scott's racing career.

Thanks,
