The Chip Ganassi Racing team will be downsizing its presence in the NTT IndyCar Series in 2025 and returning to the Indy NXT series due to the series’ new charter program limitations. With the charter program allowing a maximum of three entries per team, Ganassi’s two newest entries will not be included once charters are issued. As a result, the team will focus on their three eligible cars driven by Lundqvist, Dixon, and Palou, and shutter the non-charter entries. Driver plans are being finalized, with Kyffin Simpson expected to step into one of the eligible cars. The move to Indy NXT aims to leverage the team’s talented personnel and aligns well with their current strategies and long-term vision. This decision marks the team’s third participation in the NTT IndyCar Series’ top development category, providing opportunities to nurture new talent and expand their presence in both series.
