Can the three drivers become the first team to lock out the podium and complete the Captain’s sweep? DIXON EYES SECOND WIN: Another former Indianapolis 500 winner has a shot at adding a second Baby Borg to his collection. 2008 winner Scott Dixon returns with the formidable Target Chip Ganassi Racing team. Dixon led the most laps in the 2011 race, but didn’t lead the lap that matters the most. Can the Kiwi score his second Indianapolis win? HINCH AND HUNTER-REAY ON HOT STREAKS: Andretti Autosport drivers and front-row starters James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay enter Indianapolis as two of the series’ strongest challengers to Team Penske’s dominance of the series. -
