Because iterating on a dict actually iterates on its keys -- the way you it in previous axample. To get directly (key, value) tuples instead, use dict.items() instead:
for (fixture, racetimes) in FixtureList.items():
    print fixture, racetimes

(parens are optional, I just use them for clarity)

Note: FixtureTimes may be a better name for your dict (usually a dict name in the form of key_values does the job well, except when key is obvious/implicit).
