Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR), also known as Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, is an automotive racing organization with teams competing in the IndyCar Series, NASCAR, the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and the FIA World Endurance Championship. It is owned by businessman and former race driver Chip Ganassi. Felix Sabates and Rob Kauffman own a stake in the NASCAR operations. Mike Hull (current managing director) and Teresa Earnhardt formerly had ownership stakes in the team. They have won 10 Open Wheel titles (4 in CART, 6 in IndyCar) , 5 Grand-Am Road Racing championships, and wins in the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, 24 Hours of Daytona and a 24 Hours of Le Mans class win.
The team, as it is currently constituted, was formed in 2001 when Ganassi bought a majority stake in Sabates' Team SABCO racing team. In 2008, Ganassi partnered with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. to merge their NASCAR operations into one team which was co-owned by Ganassi, Sabates, and Teresa Earnhardt and operated independently from the other operations until 2013 as Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. The NASCAR team reassumed the Chip Ganassi Racing name in 2014 when Earnhardt sold her shares. Sabates is not connected with the IndyCar or IMSA/WEC teams.

IndyCar history[edit]
Jimmy Vasser's Reynard 96I in a Honda Collection Hall.
Eddie Cheever at Laguna Seca in 1991.
In 1989, Chip Ganassi, who had driven in the IndyCar World Series but had his career cut short due to a career-ending crash at Michigan in 1984, joined Pat Patrick as co-owner for Emerson Fittipaldi's Marlboro IndyCar team. Patrick had announced he was going to retire at the end of the year, and the team would go completely to Ganassi. The team won the Indy 500 and the IndyCar Championship.
By season's end, Patrick had second thoughts. Instead of retracting the sale of the team to Ganassi, he went ahead with the deal as planned, and instead restarted his team by taking over the upstart Alfa Romeo IndyCar effort for 1990. Fittipaldi took the Marlboro sponsorship to Team Penske, an arrangement that was also pre-planned. (Penske had supplied Patrick with a fleet of Penske chassis for 1989 as part of the deal).
Ganassi officially took over the remaining assets of the team (including the 1989 Penske chassis), and renamed it Chip Ganassi Racing. He signed former Formula One driver Eddie Cheever and raced full-time in the IndyCar World series with Target as primary sponsor.
In 1992 Ganassi expanded to a two-car effort for the Indy 500, adding Arie Luyendyk for the Indy-only entry. Later Ganassi debuted rookie Robby Gordon in selected events. For 1993, Luyendyk replaced Cheever full-time. Luyendyk and won the pole position for the Indy 500 and finished second to Fittipaldi, Ganassi's former driver in his partnership with Patrick. For 1994, Michael Andretti joined the team, immediately after returning from his failed transition to Formula One in 1993. He scored Ganassi's first IndyCar victory at Surfers Paradise.
Target continued to sponsor Ganassi's operation through the decade, and by the mid part of the decade, the team had risen to the top of the series. Perhaps the most impressive was Juan Pablo Montoya winning the championship in his rookie season in 1999. They won four consecutive series championships, with Jimmy Vasser (1996),[3] Alex Zanardi (1997–1998),[3] and Montoya in 1999, becoming the first car owner to win four consecutive CART championships.[3] In 2000, Ganassi became the first CART team to break ranks and return to race in the Indianapolis 500, part of the rival Indy Racing League. The team saw instant success as Montoya dominated the race.[3] Montoya also became the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 and the Michigan 500 in the same year since Rick Mears in 1991. However, he was unable to duplicate his championship success of 1999. Vasser's performance steadily dwindled, as his lone victory at Houston was his first in nearly two years.
The team ran from 1992 to 2002 before moving into the Indy Racing League full-time. They had run one IRL entry for former motocross racer Jeff Ward in 2002, in which Ward won one race at Texas in one of the closest finishes in IRL history. In their prime in CART, driving for Ganassi was viewed as the final proving ground for much of the top talent before moving onto Formula One.
IndyCar Series[edit]

Chip Ganassi Racing initially raced in the IRL with Juan Pablo Montoya and Jimmy Vasser in the 2000 Indianapolis 500 won by rookie Montoya. In 2001 they returned to Indy with Vasser, Bruno Junqueira, Nicolas Minassian, and NASCAR's Tony Stewart, who would also compete in that evening's Coca-Cola 600. But in neither year did they run the entire IndyCar Series season.
For 2002, Ganassi made the jump to the IndyCar Series full-time with Jeff Ward driving one car, with the addition of Ganassi's two CART Championship drivers Kenny Bräck and Bruno Junqueira at Indianapolis. None of those three would drive for Ganassi in 2003; the replacements were Scott Dixon – a midseason addition to Ganassi's Champ Car team in 2002 – and Tomas Scheckter.[4] Dixon won three races and the series championship while Scheckter struggled and was released from his contract. Tony Renna was due to replace him, but was killed in a testing crash at Indianapolis.[5] Englishman Darren Manning wound up in the seat for 2004. The team's performance suffered the next two seasons and when Manning was fired, a bevy of drivers ran in Ganassi's cars, among them former Formula One test drivers Ryan Briscoe and Giorgio Pantano, and Jaques Lazier. For 2006, Ganassi scaled back to two cars, with Dixon returning along with 2005 Indianapolis 500 Champion Dan Wheldon, whom Ganassi signed away from Andretti Green Racing in the offseason.[4][6] The team also changed to Honda engines, along with all other IndyCar teams, and Dallara chassis for 2006.
The 2007 IndyCar Series season showed promise for Ganassi, as Dixon took 4 wins at Watkins Glen, Nashville, Mid Ohio, and Sonoma[4] and Wheldon took 2 additional wins at Homestead and Kansas.[6] The 2008 IndyCar season was even stronger for the team with eventual champion Dixon taking wins at Homestead, Indianapolis, Texas, Nashville, Edmonton, and Kentucky,[4] and teammate Wheldon finishing 4th overall after winning at Kansas again and at Iowa.[6] Shortly before the conclusion of the season it was announced that Wheldon would not return as Dixon's teammate in 2009, a role taken by 2007 IndyCar Champion and Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti of Scotland. Franchitti teamed with Dixon for the non-championship race at Surfers' Paradise at the end of 2008.[7]
The Target Chip Ganassi[8] car driven by Franchitti won the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday May 30, 2010.[9]
For 2011, Ganassi expanded, to add an additional 2-car team for Graham Rahal and Charlie Kimball housed in the race shop of NHRA drag racer Kenny Bernstein.[10]
Ganassi announced that in 2012, all 4 cars would be powered by Honda engines after the series decided to have multiple engine manufacturers (Honda, Chevrolet and Lotus) for the first time since 2005.[11]
The Ganassi cars driven by Franchitti and Dixon came in first and second in the 2012 Indianapolis 500 on Sunday May 27, 2012. It was Franchitti's third Indianapolis 500 win and his second win with Ganassi. Rahal left Ganassi following the season for his father's team, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. In 2013, the team was dominant for the second half of the year, with Kimball's first win at Mid-Ohio, and Dixon adding four wins to overtake Hélio Castroneves for his third IndyCar title. The team also ran a fourth car, the No. 8, at Indianapolis for Briscoe, sponsored by NTT DATA. In spite of the title, Ganassi was dealt a major blow when Franchitti was medically forced into retirement following a crash at Race 2 in Houston. Alex Tagliani replaced Franchitti at Auto Club.
In 2014, Ganassi switched to Chevrolet engines. In a twist, Ganassi would hire 2013 Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan to drive the No. 10 Target car, while Briscoe and NTT Data signed on for a full season in the No. 8 car. The team once again struggled during the first half of the season, but hit its stride during the second half, with Dixon winning at Mid-Ohio and Sonoma, while Kanaan won the season finale at Auto Club.[12] For 2015, the team would sign Indy Lights champion Sage Karam to share the No. 8 with Sebastián Saavedra. Dixon would claim his fifth title in a tiebreaker with Juan Pablo Montoya on the strength of three wins at Long Beach, Texas, and Sonoma. Kanaan would not win that year, but had two runner up finishes at Texas and Fontana. Both Karam and Saavedra would struggle in the No. 8, save for a lone podium by Karam at Iowa. For 2016, Ganassi would replace Karam and Saavedra with former Formula 1 driver Max Chilton. 2016 would be a down year for the team, with Dixon winning twice at Phoenix and Watkins Glen, while Kanaan had only two podiums while Chilton and Kimball struggled.
Beginning in the 2017 season, Ganassi changed engine suppliers back to Honda, retaining their four drivers. Also, 2017 marked the end of Target sponsorship in Indycar, as a new chairman elected to change the retail giant's sporting sponsorships.

Firestone Indy Lights Series[edit]
On December 20, 2006, Chip Ganassi Racing announced that it would field an Indy Lights team for the first time in 2007, with drivers Chris Festa and Pablo Pérez. Perez was severely injured in a crash in the opening race of the Indy Lights season and was not replaced. Festa finished 10th in points without winning a race in a season dominated by Alex Lloyd who was signed by Chip Ganassi Racing at the end of the season. The team partnered with Integra Motorsports in 2007 and 2008 fielding a variety of development drivers, notably New Zealanders Marc Williams and Jonny Reid.

NASCAR[edit]
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series[edit]
The NASCAR operation was established in 1989 by Felix Sabates, a Cuban immigrant who was a self-made millionaire distributing products such as Teddy Ruxpin and Atari video game systems. The team was known as SABCO Racing, formed after Sabates purchased an R&D team from Hendrick Motorsports.[13] The team was renamed Team SABCO in 1996.[14] In 2001, Ganassi bought 80% of the ownership interest in the then-two-car team to form Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates; the same year the team switched from Chevrolet to Dodge, with the latter reentering NASCAR competition that season after a 15-year hiatus.[15] Longtime Ganassi sponsor Target joined the NASCAR team as a primary sponsor in 2002.[16]
On November 12, 2008 Chip Ganassi and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. owner Teresa Earnhardt, widow of seven-time Cup Series champion and DEI namesake Dale Earnhardt, announced that the two teams would merge in time for the 2009 season and run under the name of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (EGR).[17][18] The Chevrolet equipment of DEI and its engine partnership with Richard Childress Racing (as Earnhardt Childress Racing Technologies) were moved under the Ganassi umbrella, and the new team operated out of the CGR NASCAR shop.[19][20] The move contracted the two organizations with six collective entries to three Sprint Cup Series teams – the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops car driven by Martin Truex, Jr. and the No. 8 car of Aric Almirola from the former DEI stable, and the No. 42 car of Juan Pablo Montoya from Ganassi's stable.[21] The other two DEI cars – the No. 01 and the No. 15 – were disbanded. The No. 41 Ganassi team was planned to continue, but was ultimately shut down when driver Reed Sorenson left for Gillett Evernham Motorsports and when sponsor Target was moved to the No. 42, with the number transferred by NASCAR to Jeremy Mayfield's new race team.[18][22] The No. 8 car was also shut down early in the 2009 season.[21][23]
In 2010 former Ganassi driver Jamie McMurray replaced Martin Truex, Jr. in the No. 1 car, making Truex the final driver from the DEI stable to leave. During the five-year tenure of EGR, Teresa Earnhardt had little influence in day-to-day operations of the team, leading Ganassi and Sabates to revert to the team's original name for the 2014 season.[19][20][24]
In mid-2015, Rob Kauffman, then co-owner of Michael Waltrip Racing, purchased a stake in the team. Initially expected to absorb one of the two MWR entries, CGR later announced it would remain a two-car operation.[25]
As of 2017, the team currently fields the No. 1 McDonald's/Cessna Chevrolet for Jamie McMurray and the No. 42 Target/Credit One Bank Chevy for Kyle Larson. The team also has Xfinity Series driver Dylan Kwasniewski under a development contract.[26]
Car No. 1 history[edit]
Note: Prior to merging with Chip Ganassi Racing, Dale Earnhardt Inc. fielded a No. 1 car through 2008, most notably with Steve Park driving. For more information, see Dale Earnhardt, Inc. This section concerns the lineage of Chip Ganassi Racing's entry that later became the No. 1 after the merger with Dale Earnhardt Inc.
Kyle Petty's No. 42 SABCO Pontiac in 1989.
Joe Nemechek in the Team SABCO No. 42 in 1997.
The No. 1 car debuted in 1989 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, as the No. 42 PEAK-sponsored Pontiac for SABCO Racing, Felix Sabates' race team. The car was driven by Kyle Petty,[13] who finished fourth in the race. The car ran on and off for the rest of the year before moving to full-time status in 1990. Petty scored one victory and finished 11th in points that year. He was running strong in 1991 with a new sponsorship from Mello Yello,[14] before he broke his leg in an crash at Talladega Superspeedway. Over the next 11 races, he was replaced by Bobby Hillin, Jr., Tommy Kendall, and Kenny Wallace while recovering. After returning, he won four races finished fifth in points in both 1992 and 1993.
After that, Petty's career began to run out of steam. He won his final race in 1995 at Dover, the first year the car had Coors Light as a sponsor.[14] In 1996, Petty was temporarily replaced by Jim Sauter to recover from more injuries. One year later, he and Sabates split and Coors Light moved to the No. 40 car.[14] The team switched from Pontiac to Chevy. Joe Nemechek and sponsor BellSouth proceeded to come on board.[14] The year got off to a rocky start when Nemechek did not qualify for the Daytona 500, but was able to get in on a car bought from Phil Barkdoll. After losing his brother John in an crash at Homestead-Miami Speedway (and missing Darlington to attend his funeral, during which he was replaced by Phil Parsons), Nemechek won two pole positions and finished 28th in points, followed up by a then-career best 26th in 1998. Weeks after announcing that they would not race together after the 1999 season had ended, Nemechek won his first Winston Cup race at New Hampshire International Speedway, and won two more poles.
Kenny Irwin, Jr.'s BellSouth Chevrolet in 2000.
In 2000, former Winston Cup Rookie of the Year Kenny Irwin, Jr. took over the 42 car. He was just adjusting to his new team, scoring a single top ten in the first 17 races, when in July he was killed in an accident at New Hampshire during Cup Series practice, the first race since the team won there the previous year.[27][28] The team took one week off and returned as the No. 01 driven by Ted Musgrave.[28] For 2001, Chip Ganassi purchased a majority stake in SABCO, and the BellSouth brand Cingular Wireless became the sponsor. Busch Series driver and former USAC standout Jason Leffler was hired to drive the car, which was now a Dodge.[29] Leffler's rookie season was a struggle, despite winning a pole at the inaugural race at Kansas Speedway. Leffler failed to qualify for four races, and was replaced with Trans-Am Series driver Dorsey Schroeder at Sonoma and Scott Pruett at Watkins Glen.[30] Leffler would fail to qualify for the race at Watkins Glen in the No. 04 car, and he was released at the end of the season.
Reed Sorenson in 2008.
With Cingular moving to Richard Childress Racing to sponsor the No. 31 car, Target became the sponsor, the number was changed to No. 41, and veteran Jimmy Spencer was tabbed to replace Leffler.[16][28][31] Spencer did not qualify for the Daytona 500, and was replaced by road course ringer Scott Pruett at Watkins Glen, with Pruett finishing a strong 6th.[30] The high point of the season was at the Food City 500 at Bristol in the spring, when Spencer and fierce rival Kurt Busch engaged in a heated battle at the end of the race. Busch, on worn tires, would go to victory lane while Spencer scored a season-best second-place finish. In 34 races, Spencer scored two top five and six top ten finishes en route to a 27th-place points finish, and was released. Busch Series driver Casey Mears was hired to drive the car, joining fellow rookie teammate Jamie McMurray. After three seasons, another young driver, Reed Sorenson was hired to drive the No. 41 car full-time, and Mears replaced Jamie McMurray in the No. 42 car. Sorenson had five top-tens and ended the 2006 season 24th in the standings.[32]
The No. 1 Chevrolet with Martin Truex, Jr. driving.
After finishing 22nd in the standings with three top 5s and 6 top 10s in 2007, the No. 41 team dropped to 32nd in the final standings in 2008. Sorenson failed to qualify for a race for the first time in his career, and the team only managed one top five and two top tens. Sorenson left the team to drive for Richard Petty Motorsports. Ganassi would move the Target sponsorship to the No. 42 car to replace Texaco/Havoline for 2009, leaving the No. 41 without a driver or a sponsor.[22] As a result, Ganassi merged his team with the struggling Dale Earnhardt, Inc., and the No. 41 was replaced with the former DEI No. 1 car. DEI's driver (Martin Truex, Jr.) and sponsor (Bass Pro Shops) also came over to join Ganassi. Bass Pro Shops, however, reduced its schedule to 20 races. The team also carried its Earnhardt-Childress Engine program over to Ganassi.[18][33] Truex failed to win a race in his only season driving for Ganassi, and left the team after the season for Michael Waltrip Racing.
McMurray during the 2013 STP Gas Booster 500.
Truex was replaced by Jamie McMurray, who had previously driven for the Ganassi organization from 2002 until 2005, winning his first Cup race with the team as a substitute driver. Bass Pro Shops was joined by McDonald's as a primary sponsor. McMurray started the year of with a bang, winning the 2010 Daytona 500 for Ganassi in his first race in the No. 1 car.[13] It was the first win for a Ganassi team car since Juan Pablo Montoya won the 2007 Toyota/Save Mart 350. McMurray returned to the winner's circle by winning the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis, the first time that he had won multiple races in a season since joining the Cup Series full-time in 2003.[13] Inconsistency over the course of the season, however, kept McMurray out of the Chase for the Cup. He added a third win at the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte during the Chase, the same race he won for the 40 team in 2002. McMurray earned four poles, nine top fives and twelve top tens to finish 14th in the final standings, his best points finish since his earlier tenure with Ganassi.
McMurray and the Ganassi team struggled in 2011, earning two top fives and four top tens while failing to finish five races, with a dismal 27th-place points finish. The struggles continued in 2012, with only three top tens and a 21st-place points finish. For 2013, CGR would switch to Hendrick engines looking to improve performance.[34] McDonald's would become the main sponsor as Bass Pro Shops scaled down to two races. The team also gained a 10 race sponsorship from the Textron Company, with brands Cessna, Bell Helicopter, Bad Boy Buggies, and E-Z-Go adorning the car.[35] After more struggles in the first half of 2013, McMurray finally broke back into victory lane at the fall Talladega race, his first victory in three seasons. After an improved 15th-place points finish, McMurray would sign a contract extension to return in 2014.[36]
Jamie McMurray's Cessna/Beechcraft Chevrolet at Sonoma in 2015.
McMurray won the Sprint All-Star Race in 2014, taking two tires under the final caution and passing leader Carl Edwards within the final ten laps to score the victory and the $1 million bonus.[37] However, the team did not win a points race during the season and missed the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Both McMurray and teammate Kyle Larson would rebound after missing the playoff, with the 1 car scoring a pole and four top fives in the final ten races of the year. Overall, McMurray had seven top fives and 13 top tens to finish 18th in points.
For 2015, former Yates Racing driver Matt McCall was hired as crew chief for McMurray, replacing Keith Rodden.[38] McMurray started 2015 on a high note, climbing the 8th in the standings within the first ten races, and staying in a chase position for the time being.
Car No. 40 history[edit]
Greg Sacks in 1997 for SABCO
The No. 40 car in 2006, in the silver Coors Light paint scheme
The No. 40 car debuted in 1993 as the second car in the SABCO stable. It had sponsorship from Dirt Devil and was piloted by rookie driver Kenny Wallace. After Wallace finished 3rd behind Bobby Labonte and Jeff Gordon in the NASCAR Rookie of the Year standings, he left for other opportunities. Bobby Hamilton drove the car the next season with sponsorship from Kendall Motor Oil, during which the No. 40 car was bought by Dick Brooks. Hamilton finished 23rd in points that year. The 1995 season saw multiple drivers such as Rich Bickle, Greg Sacks, and Shane Hall pilot the car. But at the end of the season, Brooks closed up shop and sold the team back to Sabates. The team came back in the 1996 season with First Union sponsoring the car and Greg Sacks as the driver. The team returned for 1997 full-time with rookie driver Robby Gordon, Coors Light moving over from the No. 42, and the team switching from Pontiac to Chevrolet.[14] Gordon won the pole at the spring Atlanta race. Unfortunately, open-wheel ace Gordon suffered burns during the Indianapolis 500. By the time he returned, the damage was done and despite picking up a Top 5 finish at Watkins Glen, Gordon was released.[14] Sacks returned to finish out the year.
For the 1998 season, Sabates chose a more experienced driver in 2-time Daytona 500 winner Sterling Marlin.[14] Marlin did not qualify at the spring Atlanta race and one year after the team won the pole position there, marking the first time since 1986 that Marlin missed a race. At the end of the year, Marlin had six top-10 finishes and ended up 13th in the points standings.[14] Marlin showed a brief insurgence in the 1999 season when he won the pole at Pocono.
In 2001, the car got a new silver-red paint scheme, a manufacturer switch to Dodge, a new crew chief in Lee McCall, and a new owner in Ganassi. Marlin won his qualifying race for the Daytona 500. On the last lap of the 500, Marlin was involved in the crash that killed Dale Earnhardt. Out of anger and grief, fans sent hate mail and death threats to Marlin and his wife, blaming him for Earnhardt's death.[citation needed] Earnhardt's drivers Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Michael Waltrip rose in Marlin's defense, and Marlin was cleared of any responsibility by NASCAR's investigation into the fatal crash.[citation needed]
David Stremme at Homestead in 2007
Marlin was able to rise above the controversy, and gave Dodge its first win since its return to NASCAR at Michigan, won again at the UAW-GM Quality 500, and finished 3rd in points. Marlin led the points standings for most of the 2002 season and won two races, but he suffered a fractured vertebra in a crash at Kansas Speedway, which ended his season.[39] Some say that Marlin's injury signified the beginning of the struggles for the team. Jamie McMurray, who was scheduled to drive the No. 42 car the following season, filled in for Marlin in six races, with Mike Bliss running the car at Martinsville.[40] At Charlotte, McMurray beat out Bobby Labonte to win his 1st race in just his 2nd Winston Cup start. This emotional victory was capped off with a phone call from Marlin through the television network congratulating McMurray on his victory. Marlin would go winless over the next three seasons, with a best finish of 18th in points in 2003.
Dario Franchitti at Daytona in 2008.
Rookie David Stremme replaced Marlin in the 2006 season.[41][42][43] This move outraged some fans, since Coors Light and Ganassi both stated that the decision was partly due to Coors Light attempting to target the younger demographic.[41][44][45] A new primary sponsor, Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon, joined the team and split time with Coors.[41] Stremme did not finish higher than 11th, with an average finish of 26th, and had a 33rd-place finish in the points.[32] Before the 2007 season started, Lone Star left the No. 40 team as primary sponsor, leaving only Coors Light. After the beginning of the season, Tums also came on as a sponsor of the No. 40 team. Stremme had a much better start to the season, earning his first Top 10 in the Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, posting his best career finish, 8th, two weeks later in the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway, and ended the season with three Top 10s. Stremme was released due to Coors Light's departure to become the "Official Beer of NASCAR". On October 3, 2007, Indianapolis 500 winner and IndyCar Series Champion Dario Franchitti was announced that he would be the new driver of the No.40 car for the 2008 season. Due to the lack of sponsorship, the team had to procure one-race partnerships on a rotational basis, with The Hartford, Kennametal, Dodge Journey, Target, Dodge Avenger, and Wii Fit appearing on the car. Franchitti also suffered ankle injuries in a Nationwide Series race at Talladega, causing him to miss several races. Marlin, Stremme, Ken Schrader, and Jeremy Mayfield filled in during his absence.[46][47][48][49][50]
Ganassi shut the team down in July due to its lack of funding midseason, with around 70 employees laid off.[18][51][52] Franchitti, meanwhile, moved back to CGR's IndyCar operation.[53] The team was revived for several fall races with Bryan Clauson driving, but race qualifying was rained out twice and the team did not make the field due to being too low in the owner points. When qualifying was finally staged at Texas, Clauson subsequently failed to qualify, and the team was shut down again.[48][54]
Car No. 42 history[edit]
The original No. 42 car eventually became the No. 1; the present No. 42 car began as the No. 87 NEMCO Motorsports car owned and driven by Joe Nemechek. After he signed with SABCO in 1996, Sabates bought the majority ownership of the team, which debuted at the 1997 Daytona 500 as the No. 46 First Union Chevrolet driven by Wally Dallenbach, Jr..[14] After skipping several races, the team moved to full-time racing. Dallenbach competed in 22 races and finished 41st in points. He only raced in four races in the 1998 NASCAR Winston Cup Series before he was replaced by a rotation of drivers including Jeff Green, Morgan Shepherd, and Tommy Kendall.
After First Union stopped their backing at the end of the season, the team was scheduled to close down,[14] but instead it changed its number to No. 01 and served as the team's research and development car. Green, Steve Grissom, and Ron Hornaday drove the car on a limited schedule in 1999. The team reappeared at Sears Point in 2001 under CGR/FS as car No. 04. Jason Leffler attempted to make the race while Dorsey Schroeder piloted Leffler's regular ride, the No. 01; Leffler did not qualify for the race.
The car came back as No. 42 in 2002 at Watkins Glen when Jimmy Spencer attempted but failed to qualify the car while Scott Pruett drove Spencer's normal car, the No. 41.[30] The car was scheduled to run seven more races with Jamie McMurray driving, but when McMurray filled in for Sterling Marlin, the team did not run until 2003. The No. 42 team ran full-time in 2003, with McMurray as the driver and Texaco/Havoline as the sponsor.[28] McMurray won Rookie of the Year honors in the Winston Cup Series. He failed to win a race in 2004, but had a very good season, with 23 Top-10s. He finished 11th in series points, the best of the non-Chasers. In 2005, McMurray missed the Chase after he was passed by Ryan Newman just before the Chase started, and McMurray finished 13th in points.
Juan Pablo Montoya in Texaco colors in 2007.
McMurray left after the 2005 season to replace Kurt Busch at Roush Racing. Casey Mears moved over from the No. 41 to take his place during the 2006 season. He finished runner-up at the Daytona 500, but failed to win a race during the season and finished 14th in points.[32] Mears decided to leave Ganassi, moving to Hendrick Motorsports for 2007.[32]
In July 2006, it was announced that former Indianapolis 500 winner, CART Champion, and at-that-time Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya would replace Mears in the No. 42 for 2007.[32] Texaco returned to sponsor the car, with additional funding from Wrigley gum brands Big Red and Juicy Fruit.[33] Montoya won his first career Nextel Cup race during his rookie season at Sonoma in the Toyota/Save Mart 350, ending a nearly five year victory drought the Chip Ganassi Racing organization had since the 2002 UAW-GM Quality 500.[32] He ended the year 20th in points and won Rookie of the Year. After he failed to return to victory lane and dropped to 25th in points despite some good results and a second place in the Aaron's 499 in 2008, Texaco/Havoline left the team.
Montoya's Target Corporation scheme run from 2009 to 2013.
With Texaco leaving and the Wrigley Company not able to cover the full season, long-time Ganassi sponsor Target moved over from the No. 41 to the No. 42 for 2009.[22][33] Upon merging with DEI, the team absorbed the team's Chevrolet equipment after running Dodges since 2003.[18][33] In 2009, Montoya had a break out season, with seven top 5, eighteen top 10 and 2 poles. He qualified for the Chase for the Sprint Cup and finished eighth in the overall standings, the best season ending points position for Ganassi since Sterling Marlin's third-place finish in the final standings in 2001. Midway through 2010, Montoya had sported great runs, but didn't have the finishes to show for it, specifically at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where Montoya dominated, but his crew chief Brian Pattie called for four tires late in the race, causing Montoya to fall to 8th and never recover. A similar situation happened the following week at Pocono when Montoya was running second at a late stage in the race, and Pattie again called for four tires, placing Montoya back in traffic again. Montoya and Pattie were heard arguing over the radio. The next weekend however, Montoya won his second career race, dominating at Watkins Glen. Montoya ended up placing 17th in the overall standings for 2010.
The 2011 season started off fast for the 42 bunch. Montoya posted a 6th in the season opener at Daytona, and then finished 3rd at the Las Vegas. At Talladega Montoya was involved in a late crash with the No. 39 car of Ryan Newman. Two weeks later at Richmond, Newman and Montoya were involved in two crashes, relegating them to 20th and 29th-place finishes respectively. At Dover Montoya was running for the lead but after a vibration and a crash involving the No. 27 car of Paul Menard, Montoya finished 32nd. Later at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 Montoya had a great run and looked like he was going to fight Kurt Busch for the lead but crashed in an incident with Brad Keselowski near the end of the race and finished in 22nd. Montoya was inconsistent for the rest of the year with the exception of a 7th-place finish at Watkins Glen on August 14 and a 9th-place finish on August 25 at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire.
Montoya's struggles continued through 2012, as the Ganassi program as a whole was looking for answers. In 2013, after Ganassi switched to Hendrick Motorsports engines, Montoya nearly won at Dover, but was passed in the final laps by Tony Stewart, and finished second. Montoya would also have a strong run a Richmond including leading several laps, but would again come up short. Later, on August 13, 2013, it was announced that Montoya's contract with Ganassi would not be renewed for the 2014 season.[55]
Kyle Larson at Bristol in 2015.
For 2014, promising development driver Kyle Larson took over the No. 42 after winning the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year. Montoya, meanwhile departed for Chip Ganassi's rival, Team Penske, in the IndyCar Series. For 2014, Larson competed with what many deemed to be the strongest rookie class in the series' history, including 2013 Nationwide Series champion Austin Dillon and several of their former Nationwide Series competitors.[56] Larson nearly won at Auto Club Speedway, finishing second to Kyle Busch after a late race restart. Larson had beaten Busch the day before to capture the victory in the Nationwide Series race. Larson had a steady amount of top 10 finishes in the first half of 2014, and finished 4th at his 2nd road course race at Watkins Glen. Larson had numerous crashes and tire failures, but won a competitive Rookie of the Year title. Larson would struggle in 2015, including having to miss the 2015 STP 500 due to dehydration. Larson's best finish that year would be 3rd at the spring Dover race, but he would finish 19th in points. In 2016, Larson would rebound from his sophomore year, taking his first career victory at the 2016 Pure Michigan 400, qualifying him for the Chase for the Sprint Cup. However, both he and teammate McMurray would be eliminated from championship contention after the Citizen Soldier 400.
In 2017, Larson captured his second career victory at the 2017 Auto Club 400 after securing pole position for the race. This completed his first "Weekend Sweep", which is when a driver wins every race run during the weekend. Larson would also obtain his third career victory, winning the 2017 FireKeepers Casino 400 after starting first once again.
Additional cars[edit]
Aric Almirola's No. 8 car in 2009.
CGR has occasionally run an additional part-time entry for research and development or for rookie drivers making their debut. The team debuted in 2003 at Sonoma Raceway as the No. 09 Target Dodge, run under the Phoenix Racing banner, with road course specialist Scott Pruett, finishing a lap down in 34th after an incident while running in the top ten.[30][57] Pruett would run for CGR itself at Watkins Glen as the No. 39. Pruett started 28th and finished 2nd.[58] Pruett and the car reappeared in 2004 and 2005 at Sonoma, where Pruett finished 3rd and 31st, respectively. He also attempted Watkins Glen, but he failed to qualify both years. In 2005, former champion Bill Elliott drove the car in the Bud Shootout, due to his ride at Evernham Motorsports being unavailable. The car was sponsored by Coors, running a tribute scheme that Elliott had run in the past with the sponsor. Development driver David Stremme then drove seven races in preparation for his bid in 2006 for NASCAR Rookie of the Year, making his debut at Chicagoland Speedway in July.[41][59] Stremme finished 16th in his debut.[60] Reed Sorenson also drove at Atlanta with Discount Tire sponsorship in preparation for his full-time cup season in 2006.
In August 2005, CGR announced their plans to expand to four full-time teams, with Home123 moving up from the Busch Series to sponsor the new entry. Casey Mears, then the driver of the 41 car, was selected to drive the new entry, with Reed Sorenson moving into his old ride.[61][62] Home123, then the "official mortgage company of NASCAR," was one of several mortgage companies that specialized in subprime loans to make a large investment in the sport during the peak of the U.S. housing bubble.[63] By November, however, Home123 and Ganassi mutually ended their agreement, and Mears was tabbed to replace the departing Jamie McMurray in the No. 42 Texaco Havoline Dodge.[64][65]
In preparation for running full-time in the No. 42 car in 2007, Formula One and Indy 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya made his Cup debut at the 2006 season finale Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, in a Texaco Havoline car numbered No. 30.[32][66] Montoya qualified 29th and ran as high as 13th, but was involved in an incident with Ryan Newman on lap 254, leading Montoya's car to crash and erupt in flames. Montoya was credited with a 34th-place finish.[32][67]
After the DEI merger, Ganassi gained a set of owners' points from the former DEI No. 8 car, which had been driven by Mark Martin and Aric Almirola in 2008. (For more information about the No. 8 prior to the merger, including the time during which the car was driven by Dale Earnhardt, Jr., see Dale Earnhardt, Inc.). Although Ganassi did not have enough sponsorship to run three cars, and after Bobby Labonte turned down an offer to drive the car, Aric Almirola was tentatively signed to return to the No. 8 Chevrolet for the full 2009 season, pending sponsorship.[18][33] The team was able to sign Guitar Hero for four races including the Daytona 500,[33][68] and one-race deals with Cub Cadet,[69] TomTom,[70] and Champion Apparel.[69] After seven races and while sitting 37th in owner points, Ganassi announced that the operations of the No. 8 team were being suspended indefinitely due to lack of sponsorship.[21][23] Almirola later sued Ganassi for breach of contract, which he alleged promised a full-season ride,[71] and the dispute was settled out of court.
In addition to the No. 8 car, for 2009 EGR formed an alliance with Front Row Motorsports's No. 34 car and driver John Andretti. FRM received the owner points of DEI's former No. 15 car, allowing the team to qualify for the first five races of the season. The teams also formed a technical alliance, with EGR crew chief Steve Lane moving to FRM and the No. 34 fielded as a fourth EGR entry in select races including the Daytona 500.[33][72][73]
Xfinity Series[edit]
CGR/FS began running in the then-Busch Series as SABCO Racing in 1995, running a No. 42 car in eight races with Bobby Hamilton and Dennis Setzer. SABCO returned to the series in 2000, fielding two full-time teams (numbered 81 and 82) and one part-time (numbered 42). The No. 42 BellSouth Chevrolet was primarily driven by Kenny Irwin, Jr., with Steadman Marlin running two races in the car. The No. 42 had run ten races with Irwin finishing in the top-ten twice before he was killed in a practice accident at New Hampshire.[27] Like Irwin's Cup team, the number was switched to 01, and Sterling Marlin became the new driver. He raced three races in the 01, finishing in the top-ten twice. Blaise Alexander drove the No. 81 TracFone/WCW Chevy full-time in 2000, and had two top-tens and finished 25th in points, despite failing to qualify for the season-opening race. Dave Steele was hired by SABCO to drive the No. 82 Channellock Chevy full-time, but after failing to qualify for three out of the first five races, he was released. Sterling Marlin won in the next race in the No. 82, while Jeff Fuller failed to qualify in his attempt in the car the following week at Texas. After Derek Gilcrest drove for a pair of races, Glenn Allen, Jr. drove for the next five races, not finishing better than 29th. Jason White drove for two short track races, followed by Anthony Lazzaro at Watkins Glen, Andy Houston at Milwaukee, and Austin Cameron at Nazareth and Pikes Peak. Ted Musgrave then signed on for the next eight races, finishing eighth at Lowe's. Marty Houston finished the season in the No. 82, with a best finish of 14th. At the end of the 2000 season, SABCO's Busch equipment was sold to HighLine Performance Group (later FitzBradshaw Racing), owned by Sabates' son-in-law Armando Fitz.[74][75]
The Busch Series program was restarted by CGR from 2004 to 2008, run primarily to develop drivers including Reed Sorenson, David Stremme, Dario Franchitti, and Bryan Clauson. The team won eight races over the five year stretch, but shut down following CGR's merger with Dale Earnhardt, Inc.[76][77] At the end of 2014, CGR acquired Steve Turner's interest in the Nationwide (now Xfinity) operations of Turner Scott Motorsports, which had fielded entries in the Nationwide Series, Truck Series, K&N Pro Series East and West, and ARCA Racing Series for Ganassi drivers Kyle Larson and Dylan Kwasniewski between late 2012 and 2014. Though Turner Scott was a two car Xfinity operation (at one point operating as many as five entries), the operation under Ganassi was reduced to a single-car entry running under Harry Scott's banner, HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi.[76][78]
Car No. 14 history[edit]
Main articles: Braun Motorsports and Trail Motorsport
David Stremme at Charlotte in 2005.
In 2003, CGR Cup driver Casey Mears drove 14 races in the No. 19 Dodge for Braun Racing sponsored by CGR partner Target, with Braun forming a technical alliance with Ganassi.[79] For 2004, the alliance continued, with Braun fielding the No. 32 TrimSpa Dodge for Ganassi development driver David Stremme.[79] Late in the season, Stremme left Braun to drive the No. 14 NAVY Chevrolet for FitzBradshaw Racing – formed from Felix Sabates' former Busch Series team in 2000 – replacing Casey Atwood. In a similar technical alliance with Ganassi, the team switched to Dodge to field Stremme for the full 2005 season.[75][80] Stremme had 5 top 5's and 10 top 10's en route to a 13th-place finish, then moved up to the No. 40 Cup ride with Ganassi for 2006.
Car Nos. 40 and 42 history[edit]
Dario Franchitti at Homestead in 2007.
As part of the alliance with FitzBradshaw Racing, in 2005 a new No. 40 car was fielded by Fitz as a Dodge team with Ganassi's veteran Cup driver Sterling Marlin as the primary driver. Cottman Transmission, Family Dollar and Jani-King served as primary sponsors.[74][75][81] Marlin ran 18 races for the team with 5 top 10s, then replaced Tim Fedewa in the team's No. 12 car at Gateway.[82] Reed Sorenson moved over to the No. 40 at Atlanta when his No. 41 Ganassi car missed the race, finishing 19th.[83] CGR development driver Scott Lagasse, Jr. ran five races in the car, with a best finish of 22nd.[74][84] Carlos Contreras, Paul Wolfe, and Erin Crocker also ran races in the 40 car.
The car debuted under Ganassi in 2006 as the No. 42 Texaco/Havoline Dodge. Casey Mears drove nine races and won his first career race at Chicagoland Speedway. Juan Pablo Montoya drove the last four races of the year, posting an eleventh-place finish in his series debut at Memphis, and two top tens.[32] For 2007, Ganassi announced that Montoya and Kevin Hamlin would split the driving duties.[85] Montoya drove seventeen races the next season, and won his first race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez and had three top-tens.[86] Hamlin made seven starts, including two consecutive top-tens at Gateway and IRP.[85] After Michael Valiante drove at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve and David Stremme at Bristol, it was announced the 42 team would shut down effective immediately, but that decision and was rescinded and A. J. Allmendinger was named driver for the next five races, though he failed to finish higher than 14th. Dario Franchitti finished out the year with Target sponsorship, qualifying in the top-ten twice.[86]
Bryan Clauson racing Marcos Ambrose at Nashville in 2008.
For 2008, rookies Franchitti and Bryan Clauson shared the newly renumbered 40 car, along with Reed Sorenson, Juan Pablo Montoya, Scott Pruett, and Kevin Hamlin, with sponsorship coming from Fastenal.[87] Late in the season, with Franchitti departing from the sport, Clauson took over the car permanently.[88] The drivers combined for three top 5 finishes and five top 10s, with a best finish of third at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez with Pruett.[87] Clauson finished second in Rookie of the Year standings to Landon Cassill.[89] In December 2008, the newly formed Earnhardt Ganassi Racing announced that they had closed the No. 40 team down, due to a lack of sponsorship.[76][85]
With Ganassi switching to Chevrolet, the remnants of the No. 40 team were purchased by businessman Eddie Smith and professional boxer Evander Holyfield in February 2009 to form Smith-Ganassi Racing, later known as Team 42 Racing, renumbering the car once again to 42.[90][91] The team ran part-time schedules over the next two years, primarily with Kenny Hendrick,[90] David Gilliland, and Team Penske development driver Parker Kligerman.[91] Ganassi driver Kevin Hamlin also ran a single 2009 race at Gateway.[85]
At the 2009 Bristol spring race, EGR fielded a car for then-DEI development driver Trevor Bayne, leasing the No. 52 owner's points from Means Racing. The car was provided to Ganassi by then-partner Front Row Motorsports, with FRM sponsor Taco Bell appearing on the car. Bayne would finish 23rd in his series debut, later moving to Michael Waltrip Racing.[72][92][93][94]
The No. 42 Target Chevrolet at Road America in 2014.
Justin Marks at Road America in 2016.
In 2013, Turner Scott Motorsports was contracted to field CGR development driver Kyle Larson in their No. 32 car, with Larson winning Rookie of the Year.[95] In 2014, the car was renumbered to Ganassi's No. 42, with Larson and Dylan Kwasniewski sharing the ride, with Kwasniewski ran the majority of the season in TSM's No. 31 car.[96] Larson scored his first win at Auto Club Speedway in March,[97][98] and won again at Charlotte in May.
At the end of 2014, crew chief Scott Zipadelli was released from the team.[99] In December 2014, it was announced that Chip Ganassi Racing would partner with TSM co-owner Harry Scott to bring the 42 car in-house under the name HScott Motorsports with Chip Ganassi. The 31 team was shut down due to logistical and funding issues.[76][78] Larson returned for a part-time schedule.[76] Larson's sponsors included Parker Hannifin, which sponsored him as an adolescent midget car racer,[2] and returning sponsor ENEOS. Target, and its associated brands, also ran some races. On February 10, 2015, ARCA Racing Series race winner Brennan Poole was signed to contest a 15-race schedule – later expanded to 17 races – in the 42, sponsored by DC Solar Solutions. Poole replaced Kwasniewski, whose sponsor Rockstar Energy chose not to renew.[100][101][102] In March after two races, it was confirmed that Kwasniewski would not drive for the team at all. This expanded Larson's schedule to around 14 races. Justin Marks, partner with Harry Scott in the K&N Series, ran the three road course events for the team.[101][103] Poole finished 9th in his series debut at Las Vegas.[102] He scored two top tens and ten top-15s during the season.[104][105] Larson scored a win in the season finale at Homestead, after leading 118 laps and passing Austin Dillon with four laps to go.[106]
Though the team was run in-house in 2015, the No. 42 was brought back under the Ganassi umbrella in full for 2016. Larson returned for 17 races, with the same sponsorship from Eneos and Parker.[104] With Poole moving to a new No. 48 Ganassi entry, Marks expanded his schedule to take over all of the oval races not run by Larson, in addition to road courses. Marks, in the No. 42 Katerra Chevrolet, picked up the win in the 2016 Mid-Ohio Challenge at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in rainy conditions.
The team added former Brad Keselowski Racing driver Tyler Reddick to drive on a part-time basis in 2017.[107]
Car No. 41 history[edit]
Reed Sorenson at Daytona in 2006.
The 41 car began racing at the 2004 Kroger 200, when Reed Sorenson made his NASCAR debut with sponsorship from Discount Tire. He qualified third and finished thirteenth. For the rest of the season, Sorenson, Casey Mears, and Jamie McMurray ran limited schedules in the No. 41, with McMurray picking up a win at Phoenix. In 2005, Sorenson drove full-time, picking up two wins and finishing fourth in points. He drove most of the 2006 season, except the AT&T 250, where David Stremme finished eleventh in his place. After Sorenson's tenth-place points finish, Discount Tire left for Roush Fenway Racing and Wrigley's became the new sponsor. Sorenson and Stremme shared the No. 41 for most of the season, with Sorenson winning at Gateway. Bryan Clauson came on board with Memorex sponsorship then drove for five races with a best finish of eighteenth, before A. J. Allmendinger finished out the season in the No. 41. Bryan Clauson began the season in the No. 41 with Polaroid sponsorship, before Kyle Krisiloff drove for a few races.
From 2006–2007 the No. 41 team was put in the Busch series, with Juicy Fruit gum as a sponsor. Chip Ganassi hired drivers Scott Pruett and Reed Sorenson to race in the car. Brian Pattie was the team crew chief. In 2007, Scott Pruett led the waning laps of a Busch series race in Mexico City, nearly winning. With 8 laps left, teammate Juan Pablo Montoya went over Pruett who went to block; Pruett spun out and was forced to restart in 17th place. After 2 more cautions, Pruett drove to 5th place for the final results. While Montoya led the rest of the event and won the race, Pruett and the No. 41 team were very disappointed in their teammates for the wreck. When Pruett watched Montoya in victory lane, he held a double thumbs down calling Montoya's move "lowdown nasty dirty driving."[108]
Sorenson in 2007.
Reed Sorenson won the race at Gateway later that year in the Juicy Fruit Dodge. Sorenson would go winless until 2011 and was released in late 2008 from the team. At Montreal in 2007, Scott Pruett returned hoping for redemption of his Mexico City heartbreak. With 3 laps left, Pruett was running in third place when he got contact with Kevin Harvick. Harvick responded by waving his hand in anger, and spinning Pruett around in turn 1. Pruett's accident collected Ron Fellows, Jeff Burton, Ron Hornaday, and several others. Pruett restarted in 10th place but his amazing speed never returned; finishing him in 14th place. Harvick was surprisingly not penalized and later won the Montreal race because of Robby Gordon being black-flagged for intentionally causing an accident. Harvick wrecking Pruett, led fans to greet him with boos, and other drivers to ridicule Harvick for this incident. Even though 89% of the drivers and supporters asked Harvick to be penalized for wrecking Scott Pruett, NASCAR instead gave Harvick a warning and temporary probation; when Harvick later got into an altercation with Pruett's teammate Juan Montoya at Watkins Glen the next week, NASCAR put Harvick on probation for the rest of the year, and it took Harvick some time to reconcile with Pruett, and regain respect from the fellow drivers.
In 2008, the Juicy Fruit sponsorship ended when the team stopped running after the spring Talladega race.
Car No. 48 history[edit]
Brennan Poole at Road America in 2016.
For 2016, Brennan Poole, who drove a part-time schedule in Ganassi's No. 42 the previous season, moved into a new No. 48 car full-time with DC Solar sponsoring the full season.[104][105] Chad Norris is the crew chief for the No. 48. Poole's best finish is a 2nd-place finish at the Kentucky.
Partnerships[edit]
Richard Childress Racing[edit]
Earnhardt-Childress Racing Technologies [109] was formed in May 2007 as a cooperation between Dale Earnhardt, Inc. and Richard Childress Racing to develop and build common engines for the Chevrolet Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series teams campaigned by the two companies. The partnership was inherited by CGR following its merger with DEI. The company is now known as ECR Engines, no longer connected with DEI or CGR.[20]
Hendrick Motorsports[edit]
Main article: Hendrick Motorsports
On November 2, 2012, Chip Ganassi Racing announced that it would get its engine supply from Hendrick Motorsports.[34]
Turner Scott Motorsports[edit]
Turner Scott Motorsports ran Ganassi development drivers in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. They were Kyle Larson and Dylan Kwasniewski. Kwasniewski drove for TSM in the K&N Pro Series East before signing with Ganassi as a development driver.

3 Jim Sauter subbed-in for an injured Kyle Petty in the Team SABCO #42.
4 Non-points-paying, exhibition race.
5 Robby Gordon qualified for the race, but the original race day (Sunday, April 27, 1997) was postponed (to Saturday, May 10, 1997). This postponed day coincided with the 1997 Indy 500 Pole Day at Indianapolis, and because Gordon was attempting to do the Indy-Charlotte double, and because Joe Nemechek had failed to Qualify for the race, and Gordon decided to skip this race, Gordon opened a spot for Joe Nemechek to compete in this race.
6 Wally Dallenbach, Jr. raced in place of an injured Robby Gordon in Round 12; Greg Sacks raced in place of an injured Robby Gordon in Round 13-15.
7 Raced for Barkdoll Racing in round 1 after his #42 Team SABCO car failed to qualify for said race; Felix Sabates bought the #73 Barkdoll Racing car for this race. [118]
8 After John Nemechek, Joe's younger brother, died due to a racing accident during the 1997 Florida Dodge Dealers 400, Joe Nemechek decided to skip this race to be with family [119]
Sports car entries[edit]
Lexus-Riley prototype driven by Chip Ganassi Racing
Chip Ganassi Racing, in partnership with the performance arm of Ford Motor Company, Ford Performance, also fields four Ford GT race cars in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship. In IMSA, the team's drivers are Ryan Briscoe, Richard Westbrook, Joey Hand, and Dirk Muller.
Grand-Am[edit]
Initially, CGR fielded the 01 Lexus-Riley car driven by Scott Pruett and Max Papis. Their second team car, the 02, was driven by Jimmy Morales and Luis Diaz. CGR won the 2006 24 Hours of Daytona with Ganassi IRL drivers Dan Wheldon and Scott Dixon along with NASCAR driver Casey Mears. In 2007, Ganassi won the race again, this time with Pruett, former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya, and Salvador Duran,[120] making him the first owner to win it in back to back years since Al Holbert in 1986–87. In 2008 Chip Ganassi Racing won a third Daytona 24 in a row. Also in 2008, Chip Ganassi Racing won their 3rd Grand-Am Championship, with drivers Scott Pruett, and Memo Rojas. It was Pruett's 8th Road Racing Championship. Also participating was Memo Rojas, the first Mexican to win a major Road Racing title in North America. For the 2010 Grand Am season the team switched from Lexus-Riley to BMW-Riley. Rojas and Pruett won 9 out of 12 races and eventually won the Grand-Am championship.
2011 Rolex 24 victory[edit]
2011 Daytona Prototype at Road America
Ganassi's Grand-Am Series team started 2011 in the best possible fashion, earning a one-two finish in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona endurance race.[121] Ganassi's two cars ran towards the front of the field for the majority of the race,[122] and driver Scott Pruett, having started third,[123] defeated Scott Dixon by a margin of victory of over two seconds in a one-lap sprint to the finish after a late caution period.[121][122]
The victory made Ganassi the first racing team owner to win the four of the most important races in North American auto racing, the Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400, and 24 Hours of Daytona, within the same 12-month span.[121] It was Pruett's fourth win in the event; for co-driver Memo Rojas, his second victory, while co-drivers Joey Hand and Graham Rahal won for the first time, the latter thirty years after his father, Bobby Rahal, won the event.[122]
Global RallyCross Championship[edit]
Ganassi expressed plans to start a team in the AMA Supercross Championship, but in late 2014, Ganassi attended the Global RallyCross Championship's season-ending race in Las Vegas, and as a result, expressed interest in fielding a GRC team.[124] On March 18, 2015, Ganassi announced the creation of a team that began competing in the GRC in 2015. The team is based in the NASCAR shop in Concord, North Carolina, and is led by former Ford World Rally Team engineer Carl Goodman. The team hired former JR Motorsports NASCAR driver Steve Arpin and 13-time X Games medalist Brian Deegan to run the No. 00 and 38 M-Sport Ford Fiestas, respectively.[125] Arpin contested the full season, while Deegan competed in seven of the season's twelve races.[126]
In 2016 Arpin and Deegan was back full-time. Arpin earned the team's first win at Daytona.
In 2017, Ganassi announced he would shut down the Global RallyCross program to focus on other series. The team's assets were acquired by Loenbro Motorsports.[127]

On 12 June 2015, at Le Mans, it was announced that Ford will return to the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 with a factory-supported, four-car effort operating as Ford Chip Ganassi Racing.[128] The cars will be campaigned by Chip Ganassi Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, and by Multimatic Motorsports Europe in the FIA World Endurance Championship under the Ford Chip Ganassi Team UK banner.[129]
