Ganassi adds fifth IndyCar for Indy NXT grad Simpson in 2024
Chip Ganassi Racing has chosen Kyffin Simpson to join their team for the NTT IndyCar Series, making him the fifth Honda-powered entry. Simpson, an 18-year-old from the Cayman Islands, has been driving for HMD Motorsports and has achieved notable success in the Indy NXT series. He finished second at Mid-Ohio and third on the Indianapolis road course, ending the season in 10th place overall. Simpson is also an active racer in the European Le Mans Series, where he has won a race and is currently second in the standings. The move to IndyCar comes earlier than expected but was part of a long-term plan by CGR. The team will run all five cars from under the same tent.
