Suffice it to say that it’s been a trying week in Indianapolis for Scott Dixon.
Dixon, of course, was robbed at gun point at a Taco Bell drive thru last Sunday after winning the Indy 500 pole. Can’t possibly get any worse than that, right?
… Wrong!
During lap 53, Dixon saw his life flash before his eyes yet again after a collision with Jay Howard sent him airborne into a catch fence:

Here’s the terrifying wreck from Dixon’s point of view:

Fortunately both Dixon and Howard were cleared and released from the medical center.
