Scott Dixon Is Leaving Chip Ganassi Racing After 24 Years
The six-time IndyCar champion turned down a multiyear extension to join Arrow McLaren for 2027 — and he's not the only headline name changing seats this off-season.
Scott Dixon — six-time IndyCar champion and the 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner — is leaving Chip Ganassi Racing after 24 seasons to join Arrow McLaren for 2027, turning down a multiyear extension the team had offered him to finish his career there. Dixon currently sits 10th in the 2026 points standings. Chip Ganassi released a statement on the split: "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."

Christian Lundgaard, this season's most recent Road America winner, is the frontrunner to take over Dixon's seat — effectively a straight swap between the two drivers' current rides. Dixon isn't the only marquee name moving this off-season, either: 2026 Indy 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist is also leaving his team, Meyer Shank Racing, with Arrow McLaren again the expected destination.
Meyer Shank Racing responded to the Rosenqvist news by locking up his teammate Marcus Armstrong on a multiyear extension, moving him from the No. 66 to the No. 60 car. "I feel that Meyer Shank Racing gives me one of the strongest cars on the grid every weekend," Armstrong said of the deal. Brazilian rookie Caio Collet is now considered the favorite to fill Rosenqvist's vacated seat — meaning a single team's decision to let two stars walk has effectively reshuffled four cars' worth of the 2027 grid.
