==Early years==
Dixon was born in Brisbane, Australia, to New Zealand parents Ron and Glenys Dixon who were both dirt race car drivers.〔(Champcarworldseries_biography:Scott Dixon )〕 The family returned to Auckland in New Zealand when Dixon was very young. A Manurewa, South Auckland resident and a student from James Cook High School he began racing karts as a seven-year-old,〔(Press Democrat Staff Writer )〕 and caught the attention of the New Zealand public when granted a special dispensation to obtain a competition licence to race a saloon car as a 13-year-old.〔(Black Bullet Profile :Scott Dixon )〕 At the time of this incident New Zealanders could not obtain a road licence until turning 15 years old. Dixon was competing at Pukekohe Park Raceway in a one-make series featuring the Nissan Sentra when he rolled the car onto its roof. He caught national attention when TV showed him struggling from the upturned car with a cushion strapped to his back to enable him to reach the pedals, and wiping a tear from his eye.〔This Is Your Life, TV1, 21 September 2008〕 Dixon went on to win in every series he competed in.
