Chip Ganassi Racing Expands to Five Full Entries in NTT IndyCar Series, Emphasizing Team Cohesion and Driver Development

Chip Ganassi Racing is venturing into new territories this year by launching five full entries in the NTT IndyCar Series. This decision surprised many, considering that four drivers had already been announced before the addition of Kyffin Simpson. Naturally, questions arose about how CGR would manage such a large team and provide the necessary support. However, the team’s experienced drivers reassured everyone, stating that they had capable staff to handle the challenge. Chip Ganassi himself echoed this sentiment, stating that it was not a huge challenge thanks to the capable team and seamless integration of additional team members. In fact, Ganassi believes that having the five cars in one place makes things logistically easier. This change demonstrates the maturity and efficiency of Ganassi’s racing organization, as they have successfully navigated between one and four drivers per year in the past. Ganassi is confident that this expansion to five full-time entries will not hinder the team’s performance, but rather offer a valuable opportunity for younger drivers to learn from experienced veterans.
