We gave 6-time Honda Indy 200 champion, Scott Dixon a call to answer some fans questions for the upcoming Honda Indy 200 doubleheader. Follow us on Twitter @Mid_Ohio for more!
Question 1
It feels amazing to be list with the likes of AJ Foyt, Mario Andretti, all the Andrettis. I think it’s cool. AJ I’d say is pretty safe, Mario we’re getting closer but, you never know, its tough to get these races wins. It’s not something I think about while I’m driving.

Question 2
.@scottdixon9: I really only read autobiographies, apart from stuff I did in school and anything like that. For me it’s been pilot books, it's about racing, it's about heroes I’ve had, it’s been about rugby. #Honda200 / @IndyCar https://t.co/5MQa1W0A9K

Question 3
I really enjoy the flow of it. I’d say its a mix of the team's great success and a place I really love and enjoy and suits myself. #Honda200 / @IndyCar

Question 4
Even when we’re in the gym its during hot hours and obviously a lot of sauna time and steam room stuff to help with adjust-ability with core temperature and things like that. #Honda200 / @IndyCar

Question 5
But then you need a car that's good through the elevation changes through like 5 & 9 so, its just a track of general flow. But, I’d say 1 & 2 you can get a ton of time just with carrying speed down the straights.#Honda200 / @IndyCar

Question 6
.@scottdixon9: @GPSTPETE stands out. Its a track and a town that I really love. Been a few podiums but, never had the opportunity to win. #Honda200 / @IndyCar https://t.co/I1uGWk8Jl8

Question 7
that's very demanding. Then having to go straight back and do it the following day, it’ll come up pretty quick. They have shorten the races which should help a little bit just because of the longevity but, also make strategy pretty straightforward. #Honda200 / @IndyCar

Question 8
.@scottdixon9: Pace is going to be pretty interesting, I think. I’m not sure you will see the difference of a two-stop or three-stop just because the race is shorter. I think everyone will be on a pretty easy two-stop so that will take away the opportunity of making something.. https://t.co/GqH3aKBGSt

It’s never one thing, its a multitude of many. #Honda200 / @IndyCar
