Scott is the 1st and only Kiwi to win pole for the big race...
Other Kiwi's at Indy
Denny (Denis) Hulme competed in the Indianapolis 500 on four occasions: 1967, 1968, 1969, and 1971. His best results in the event were in 1967 and 1968, both times finishing fourth. He did not compete in the 1970 race, due to methanol burns to the hands after a fire during practice.
Bruce McLaren - race-car designer, driver, engineer and inventor had 3 cars bearing his name win the Indy 500 (Mark Donohue 1972, Johnny Rutherford 1974 & 1976) all with Offenhauser engines.
anyway, yes I voted for Scott in this poll, but I voted for Vitor on another site
