Ganassi confirms Dixon will depart at IndyCar season's end
Chip Ganassi has confirmed the upcoming departure of its most successful driver at the end of the current IndyCar season.
“Scott Dixon has recently informed the team that he will not be returning in 2027,” Ganassi said of the six-time IndyCar Series champion.
“Scott has meant so much to CGR over the past 24 years. Together we've shared championships, many victories, and countless moments that have helped define this organization. Because of everything we've accomplished together, and the legacy Scott has built here, we believed it was important to give him the opportunity to finish his career at Chip Ganassi Racing, and we made him a multi-year offer to do just that. We respect that he's chosen a different path and wish him nothing but continued success.
"Scott will always be a special part of this team's history, and we're grateful for everything we've accomplished together.”
As RACER outlined on Wednesday, the team has started the process of finding Dixon’s successor in the No. 9 Honda.
“Our focus now is on finishing this season strong with the No. 9 PNC team while also preparing for the future at Chip Ganassi Racing," Ganassi said.
