Christian Lundgaard Joins Chip Ganassi Racing

The 25-year-old driver finished third in the 2026 INDYCAR standings with two victories before being released by Arrow McLaren in July. Lundgaard replaces Dixon, a six-time champion, at Ganassi. "It's still a big question mark to me, and I think it is too many," Lundgaard said during a virtual news conference. "I choose to look at it in a very different way. I've done well and a better opportunity has arose versus what it could have been." sos-zagle.org.pl

The move reunites Lundgaard with PNC Bank sponsorship as he steps into the iconic No. 9 car. Despite a difficult release process, Lundgaard expressed excitement about joining an organization that has won six of the last seven INDYCAR titles. He acknowledges the challenge of filling the shoes of the departed Scott Dixon and the dominance of Alex Palou.
