Scott Dixon was honored by Queen Elizabeth II on Sunday with the Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in recognition of his services to motorsport.
The five-time IndyCar champion will receive the award at Buckingham Palace.
“It’s definitely a huge honor and totally different to any kind of racing accolade I’ve had,” Dixon said. “I think of being very lucky and fortunate on the racing side of things. I’ve achieved a lot. But to get recognition like that, very few people do.”
Britain’s monarch honors national and commonwealth individuals for their contribution to society in June and on New Year’s Day.
