INDIANAPOLIS — Chip Ganassi Racing officials have confirmed the departure of six-time IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon from the team at the end of the season.
The 45-year-old New Zealander has driven for the team for 24 years.
It has been speculated that Dixon will join Arrow McLaren during the offseason, but neith Dixon, nor the team have confirmed that information.
CGR issued a statement on Thursday morning.
“Scott Dixon has 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,” the statement read. “Because of everything we’ve accomplished together, and the legacy Scott has built here, we believed it was 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.”
