Michael Cannon has joined PREMA Racing as the “head of engineering” after departing A.J. Foyt Racing in early November. Cannon is known for his successful tenure at Chip Ganassi Racing where he was Scott Dixon’s race engineer during the 2020 championship-winning season. Cannon’s expertise will now be focused on overseeing the engineering efforts for drivers Callum Ilott and rookie Robert Shwartzman at PREMA Racing in their debut IndyCar season. His track record of improving performance at smaller teams indicates that his presence at PREMA could elevate the team’s competitiveness significantly. Under Cannon’s leadership, PREMA Racing is poised to make an impact in the NTT IndyCar Series starting in March.
