Chip Ganassi Racing is downsizing from five cars to three for the 2025 NTT IndyCar Series due to Penske Entertainment’s charter program limitations. The team informed crew members of their release as a result of the cap on charter agreements. CGR needed to cut entries from its IndyCar team and reassigned staff to a new two-car Indy NXT program combining IMSA and IndyCar staff. Released members are sought after by other IndyCar teams. Chip Ganassi Racing stated that the changes position them better to defend their IndyCar Series championship in 2025. PREMA Racing is hiring for its debut, while local employment opportunities are growing with AJ Foyt Racing relocating its second car near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
