It has been announced that six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon will leave Chip Ganassi Racing at the end of the 2026 season, bringing an end to one of the most successful partnerships in motorsports history.
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Chip Ganassi Racing said:
“Scott Dixon recently informed the team that he will not be returning in 2027.
Scott has meant so much to CGR over the past 24 years. Together, we’ve shared championships, many victories, and countless moments that have helped define this organization. Because of everything we’ve accomplished together and the legacy Scott has built here, we believe it is important to give him the opportunity to finish his career at Chip Ganassi Racing, and we made him a multi-year offer to do just that.
We respect that he’s chosen a different path and wish him nothing but continued success. Scott will always be a special part of this team’s history, and we’re grateful for everything we’ve accomplished together.
Our focus now is on finishing this season strong with the No. 9 PNC team, while also preparing for the future at Chip Ganassi Racing.”
Although Dixon has not announced where he will race next, rumours suggest he could join Arrow McLaren for the 2027 season. However, an official announcement regarding his future plans is yet to come out.
The departure marks the end of an era, with Dixon having spent 24 seasons at Chip Ganassi Racing. He won multiple championships with the team and became one of the greatest drivers in IndyCar history.
