Another chapter has been added to New Zealand's long history of success in motorsport.

Kiwi drivers Scott Dixon and Scott McLaughlin finished first and second in the third race of the IndyCar season at the Texas Motor Speedway yesterday.

For Dixon, the win was the 51st of a career in which he's earned six IndyCar Championships.

McLaughlin, meanwhile, is an IndyCar rookie - racing in the series for just the fourth time having shifted to the US after winning three consecutive Supercars Championships in Australia.
