Dixon was influenced by the success of New Zealand drivers Chris Amon, Denny Hulme and Bruce McLaren.

Dixon rolled a Nissan Sentra saloon car onto its roof during a race at Pukekohe Park Raceway, capturing national attention when footage showed him struggling from the upturned car with a cushion strapped to his back to reach the pedals. For the 1995–1996 season, he drove a 1600cc light, low-downforce pushrod open-wheel car in the higher-tier New Zealand Formula Ford Class II Championship, winning the category title with 13 victories in 14 events. Dixon's family moved him to the primary Formula Ford class in a 1992 Swift car, securing the 1996–1997 title with 8 wins from 15 starts.

With no help from Motorsport NZ, Dixon's family approached open-wheel racer Ken Smith, who became Dixon's manager and mentor in their plan to send him to the Australian Drivers' Championship's Formula Holden class. Dixon got race-by-race funding from sponsors and individuals as his family and a small group of local sponsors lost funding.

To fund his 1998 campaign, investors formed the Scott Dixon Motor Sport (SDMS) company to raise enough money to support Dixon's career until a top-team signed him,{{efn|Dixon's achievements allowed him to buy his way out of the investment group, which held 60 per cent of his salary until the commitment ended in 2006.}}{{Cite web|last=MacKay|first=Ross|date=2 October 2018|title=The secret to Scott Dixon's success Pt 2.

In late 1998, he moved to the United States and entered the Championship Auto Racing Teams' (CART) developmental series Indy Lights, hoping to reach Formula One (F1) because SDMS could not afford the more expensive European series such as British Formula 3 with Alan Docking Racing. SDMS approached Tasman Motorsports owner Steve Horne but was unable to secure enough sponsorship for Dixon to drive for the team, so Dixon was tested by Johansson Motorsports owner Stefan Johansson at Sebring International Raceway in Florida. Dixon raced for the team in the 1999 season after legal negotiations with SDMS and additional sponsorship funding. He underwent intensive training in a weighted helmet to strengthen his neck muscles to combat g-forces.{{Efn|Dixon attributed his smooth transition to oval track racing in the United States is heavy concentration and his position on each lap.{{cite web|last=MacKay|first=Ross|title=The secret to Scott Dixon's success Pt 4 – Because racing IS life!|url=https://talkmotorsport.co.nz/featured/the-secret-to-scott-dixons-success-pt-4-because-racing-is-life/|publisher=Talk Motorsport|date=23 October 2018|access-date=9 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129102826/https://talkmotorsport.co.nz/featured/the-secret-to-scott-dixons-success-pt-4-because-racing-is-life/|archive-date=29 January 2019}}}} Dixon finished fifth in the drivers' championship in a Lola T97/20-Buick car, with one victory and four top-five finishes, and was second to Jonny Kane in the Rookie of the Year standings.

After Smith left Dixon's management team post-season, Johansson became Dixon's manager, deciding if Dixon could not progress to CART in the 2001 season, Dixon would join another team. After seeing Dixon compete in Australia, media manager Brett Murray encouraged PacWest Racing's (PWR) Indy Lights development squad to employ him for the 2000 championship. Dixon accepted following SDMS' decision not to engage in direct contract talks that were done through driver Tony Renna, finalising a five-year contract with 15 days minimum testing with its CART team in April 2000.{{Cite web|last=Mauk|first=Eric|date=11 April 2000|title=Lights – Dixon Inks PacWest Deal|url=http://www.speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/03CART/000411b.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000524194802/http://www.speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/03CART/000411b.html|archive-date=24 May 2000|access-date=1 September 2020|publisher=Speedvision}}{{Cite web|date=16 December 1999|title=Scott Dixon signs with the PacWest Racing Team !|url=http://www.scottdixon.co.nz/html/news_article.asp?ID=21|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020306161633/http://www.scottdixon.co.nz/html/news_article.asp?ID=21|archive-date=6 March 2002|access-date=31 August 2020|publisher=ScottDixon.co.nz}} He won the title with 155 points, six victories and eight top-four finishes, becoming the series' second-youngest title winner behind Greg Moore.

Dixon generally performs better in a race than in a qualifying session.{{cite web|last=Benyon|first=Jack|title=IndyCar's Alonso equivalent has normalised the impossible|url=https://www.the-race.com/indycar/scott-dixon-fernando-alonso-indycar-equivalent-normalising-the-impossible/|publisher=The Race|date=22 April 2024|access-date=22 April 2024|archive-date=22 April 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240422205317/https://www.the-race.com/indycar/scott-dixon-fernando-alonso-indycar-equivalent-normalising-the-impossible/|url-status=live}} According to Palou, Dixon can maximise car performance consistency over a stint, a race or a season.{{cite web|last=Smith|first=Fred|title=Scott Dixon's All-Time Great Career, In His Own Words|url=https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a60872445/scott-dixons-all-time-great-career-in-his-own-words/|work=Road & Track|date=24 May 2024|access-date=4 August 2024}} Road & Track's Fred Smith writes that Dixon has a reputation of being patient, something Dixon says came from his formative years of racing cars when he could not afford to make an error otherwise he would have to stop competing because his family lacked money. The Race's Matt Beer and Jack Benyon write that Dixon is consistent not "in the boring sense of hanging back in third and fourth while others screw up" but rather "in the sense of always maximising what's possible amid the often crazy circumstances of IndyCar races" and that "Rival after rival has discovered how hard it is to shake Dixon off in a title fight, no matter what degree of plight he seems to be in during any given race."{{Cite web |last1=Beer |first1=Matt |last2=Benyon |first2=Jack |date=29 May 2022 |title=Why Dixon normally loses the Indy 500 |url=https://the-race.com/indycar/why-dixon-normally-loses-the-indy-500/ |access-date=10 March 2023 |publisher=The Race |archive-date=9 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220609043613/https://the-race.com/indycar/why-dixon-normally-loses-the-indy-500/ |url-status=live }}

According to Racer's Jeff Olson, Dixon prefers to drive a car with oversteer for better driveability, and racing journalist Marshall Pruett observes the driver's ability to perform 100 micro-corrections with the steering wheel during each lap.{{Cite web |last=Pruett |first=Marshall |date=9 March 2018 |title=Insight: Welcome back, oversteer |url=https://racer.com/2018/03/09/insight-welcome-back-oversteer/ |access-date=10 March 2023 |website=Racer |archive-date=5 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210805211758/https://racer.com/2018/03/09/insight-welcome-back-oversteer/ |url-status=live }} David Malsher-Lopez, writing for Motorsport.com characterised Dixon's handling style as not proactive but "reactive, a reflex match with the vagaries of car handling and physics." Since his early years competing in the IndyCar Series, he has been able to save more fuel than other drivers while driving faster because he requests information when each of his stints begins thorough preparation and car setups decided beforehand and operates within the limits of his given fuel mileage number by being as efficient as possible in a stint, allowing him to make fewer or faster pit stops.{{Cite web |date=5 October 2015 |title=Scott Dixon one of the all-time greats |url=https://motorequipmentnews.co.nz/article/scott-dixon-one-all-time-greats |access-date=11 March 2023 |website=Motor Equipment News |archive-date=5 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230205133848/https://motorequipmentnews.co.nz/article/scott-dixon-one-all-time-greats |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |last=Malsher-Lopez |first=David |date=5 September 2016 |title=Hull: Dixon saves fuel using intel, not just technique |url=https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/hull-dixon-saves-fuel-using-intel-not-just-technique-815866/815866/ |access-date=11 March 2023 |publisher=Motorsport.com |archive-date=11 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230311173707/https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/hull-dixon-saves-fuel-using-intel-not-just-technique-815866/815866/ |url-status=live }} He attempts to ensure before the race that he is aware he will be provided with a car that drives well through a corner when in such a scenario.
