The downsized team brings back Scott Dixon and reigning champ Alex Palou, returns a sophomore driver and launches its first NXT program since 2007.
Chip Ganassi Racing confirmed its lineups in the IndyCar Series and Indy NXT for the 2025 season. Having announced the team would downsize from five entries to three for next season, questions lingered around who would remain with the organization. The answers: six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon, back-to-back reigning champion Alex Palou, and incoming sophomore Kyffin Simpson. Dixon and Palou will remain in their respective Honda-powered No. 9 and No. 10 cars.
“I’m excited,” said Dixon, who won two races en route to finishing sixth in the 2024 championship. “I’m ready to get going. I wish there wasn’t such a long offseason. We had lots of great races last year. It didn’t end the way that we would’ve liked, with some DNFs and some poor results here and there, but the team did a great job with great speed. I’m looking forward to the season, and obviously going for championship number seven.
