Chip Ganassi Racing Says Six-Time IndyCar Champion Scott Dixon Won't Return in 2027
The move would end Dixon’s 25-year run at Chip Ganassi Racing and could push Christian Lundgaard and Nolan Siegel out of McLaren seats.
- Six-Time IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon and reigning Indianapolis 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist are slated to join Arrow McLaren for the 2027 season, sources told ESPN columnist Marshall Pruett.
- Ending a 25-year relationship with Chip Ganassi Racing, Dixon informed Owner Chip Ganassi he would not return in 2027, prompting the team to pursue new drivers.
- Last week, Rosenqvist announced his departure from Meyer Shank Racing after the season, following his victory in May at the Indy 500 by the closest margin in history.
- Christian Lundgaard and Nolan Siegel will vacate their seats at McLaren to accommodate the incoming pair, with Siegel departing after his third year with the team.
- Dixon, who holds 59 career victories trailing only A.J. Foyt, was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2024 after winning series championships in 2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2020.
