    Kiwi great Scott Dixon's not getting ahead of himself, after sealing pole position for next week's Indianapolis 500 - the most famous race in motorsport


    Dixon's fifh pole at The Brickyard is one short of American Rick Mears' all-time record.

    It's a Chip Ganassi one-two, with reigning series champion Alex Palou qualifying second on the grid.
