New Zealander's have something huge to celebrate today, with Kiwi boy Scott Dixon winning one of the most famous races in all of motor sports - the Indianapolis 500.

After finishing second in the same race last year, Dixon fought hard this year to make damn sure he came away with the win.

Dixon becomes the first ever Kiwi win the Indy 500, (he also poled first in qualifying - another Kiwi first), and becomes only the 19th person to win the race after starting in the pole position.
The 200 lap race was a stop-start affair, with eight yellow flags making life tough for Dixon - this win ranks right up there with his Indy Series title back in 2003.

Aussie Ryan Briscoe ended Danica Patrick's night when he clipped her car while in the pit lane, and didn't she get fired up? Still - with only 29 of the 200 laps to go, you can hardly blame her.

At the end of the day, though, none of that mattered to Dixon, who finally got to stand atop of the podium at Indianapolis and drink from the famous bottle of milk. Well done Scott - we're all immensely proud of your great achievement.

In other racing news, Britain's Lewis Hamilton picked up the checkered flag in Formula Ones Monaco Grand Prix, despite losing a tyre early in the race. Hamilton managed to limp into the pits and continue the race, which was hampered by rain and littered with crashes.
His win puts him right back on top of the championship table.

Keep 'em coming, Lewis!
