The Nikon Indy 300 is an open-wheel motor race event that takes place each year on a street circuit at Surfers Paradise, an eastern beach-side suburb of Gold Coast city in south east Queensland, Australia. Known generically as the Gold Coast Indy 300, Japanese camera giant Nikon was announced as new naming rights sponsor in early August, Ronald Dixon (born July 22, 1980) is a New Zealand motor racing driver who has twice won the Indy Racing League (IRL) championship in the United States, in 2003 on his first attempt, and again in 2008. He won the 92nd running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2008, from pole position. At Kentucky in August that year he equalled the record for six wins in a season. Known as a consistent race finisher, Dixon has twice in his IndyCar career set the record for finishing the highest number of consecutive races, 28, at Watkins Glen in 2005, and again at Mid-Ohio in 2007
