Presently Scott Dixon has the hot hand for betting on IndyCar Series races. First, he leads the Verizon IndyCar series standings. What’s more he was the winner of the last race at Toronto. Dixon leads second place Josef Newgarden by 62 points. Equally important are his three wins on the season. Newgarden was last year’s IndyCar champion. However, Dixon is tied with Dario Franchitti for the all-time title list at four. In spite of not winning the championship since 2015 Dixon looks primed for his fifth crown. Supplementing that would also be the all-time record for IndyCar championships.
