Chip Ganassi had more cars entered in the 108th Indianapolis 500 than any other team owner. Despite the expectations based on their past performance, none of the five Ganassi cars made it to the Fast 12 group for the pole position. This failure to advance was unexpected, as the team had been dominant in recent years. The last time Ganassi faced a similar setback was in 2019, 2013, and 1990. Scott Dixon and Alex Palou, who had taken poles in previous years, could not secure a spot in the Fast 12 this time. Palou, the highest-placed Ganassi driver, ended up in 14th position after the first day of qualifying. Dixon, a veteran driver, faced his worst starting position in his 22-year career at the Speedway. Despite the disappointment, the team remains determined to improve and compete at the highest level.
