Scott Dixon didn’t expect much as a young New Zealand racer. The Iceman is now IndyCar’s Ironman

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:10:48 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — It’s dreary and raining in “the CBD” of Auckland, 11 a.m. on Tuesday in the thick of New Zealand winter. A video conference connects with Scott Dixon, who has called from his home in Indiana, in the stickiness of a Midwest summer, where it is 6 p.m. on Monday.Dixon grew up in Auckland until his racing dreams took him to Australia at age 16. And then two years later, accidentally, all the way to America. It is in the United States where Dixon has a two-plus decade run as the greatest IndyCar driver of his generation. The first thing he asked The Associated Press was about the Auckland winter weather, laughing at the gloominess as he noted his last return there during its winter season was at least 20 years ago. Come to think of it, Dixon said, none of his friends even call him during New Zealand winter. “Everyone hibernates,” Dixon shrugged. Dixon’s visa status when he first moved to the United States required him to make frequent trips back to New ...

WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) — Thousands of Hawaii residents raced to escape homes on Maui as blazes swept across the island, destroying parts of a centuries-old town and killing at least 36 people in one of the deadliest U.S. wildfires in recent years.The fire took the island by surprise, leaving behind burned-out cars on once busy streets and smoking piles of rubble where historic buildings had stood in Lahaina Town, which dates to the 1700s and has long been a favorite destination for tourists. Crews battled blazes in several places on the island Wednesday, and the flames forced some adults and children to flee into the ocean.At least 36 people have died, according to a statement from Maui County late Wednesday that said no other details were available. Officials said earlier that 271 structures were damaged or destroyed and dozens of people injured. The 2018 Camp Fire in California killed at least 85 people, destroyed nearly 19,000 homes, businesses and other buildings, and virtually ra...
