INDYCAR History
In 1989, Chip Ganassi, joined Pat Patrick as co-owner for Emerson Fittipaldi's Marlboro 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 Indianapolis 500 and the 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 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 with Target as primary sponsor.
In 1992 Ganassi expanded to a two-car effort for the Indianapolis 500, adding Arie Luyendyk for the Indianapolis-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 Indianapolis 500 and finished second. For 1994, Michael Andretti joined the team, immediately after returning from his failed transition to Formula One in 1993. He scored Ganassi's first 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 championships.[3] In 2000, Ganassi became the first 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 1990 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. At that time, driving for Ganassi was viewed as the final proving ground for much of the top talent before moving onto Formula One.
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 Indianapolis 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 IRL season.
For 2002, Ganassi made the jump to the IRL full-time with Jeff Ward driving one car, with the addition of Ganassi's two 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 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 the other teams, and Dallara chassis for 2006.
The 2007 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 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 Champion and Indianapolis 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 car driven by Franchitti won the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday May 30, 2010.[8]
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 Don Prudhomme.
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.[9]
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 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 Speedway.
In 2014, Ganassi switched to Chevrolet engines. In a twist, Ganassi would hire 2013 Indianapolis 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 Speedway.[10]
Beginning in the 2017 season, Ganassi changed engine suppliers back to Honda. Also, 2017 marked the end of Target sponsorship for the program, as a new chairman elected to change the retail giant's sporting sponsorships.

NASCAR
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series
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.[11] The team was renamed Team SABCO in 1996.[12] 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.[13] Longtime Ganassi sponsor Target joined the NASCAR team as a primary sponsor in 2002.[14]
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).[15][16] 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.[17][18] 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.[19] 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. The No. 8 car was also shut down early in the 2009 season.[19][20]
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.[17][18][21]
In mid-2015, Rob Kauffman, then co-owner of Michael Waltrip Racing, purchased a stake in the team.
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 Chevrolet for Kyle Larson.

- 1 Kenny Wallace, Tommy Kendall and Bobby Hillin, Jr. subbed-in for an injured Kyle Petty in the SABCO Racing #42.
- 2 Felix Sabates still partially owned the #40 Team in 1995; Dick Brooks sold the #40 team back to Felix Sabates after the end of the season.
- 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. [30]
- 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 [31]

In IMSA, the team's drivers are Ryan Briscoe, Richard Westbrook, Scott Dixon, Joey Hand, Dirk Muller and Sébastien Bourdais.
In 2003, CGR fielded the No. 01 Lexus-Riley car driven by Scott Pruett and Max Papis. Their second team car, the No. 02, was driven by Jimmy Morales and Luis Diaz. CGR won the 2006 24 Hours of Daytona with Ganassi INDYCAR 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,[32] making him the first owner to win it in back to back years since Al Holbert in 1986–87. In 2008 CGR won a third Daytona 24 in a row. Also in 2008, CGR won their 3rd Championship, with drivers Scott Pruett, and Memo Rojas. Also participating was Memo Rojas, the first Mexican to win a major Road Racing title in North America. For the 2010 season the team switched from Lexus-Riley to BMW-Riley. Rojas and Pruett won 9 out of 12 races and eventually won the championship.
2011 Rolex 24 At Daytona Win
CGR started 2011 in the best possible fashion, earning a one-two finish in the Rolex 24 At Daytona endurance race.[33] Ganassi's two cars ran toward the front of the field for the majority of the race,[34] and driver Scott Pruett, having started third,[35] 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.[33][34]
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 Rolex 24 At Daytona, within the same 12-month span.[33] 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.[34]
To date the team has seven Rolex 24 At Daytona titles and seven championships.
Global RallyCross Championship
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.[36] On March 18, 2015, Ganassi announced the creation of a team that began competing in the GRC in 2015. The team was based in the NASCAR shop in Concord, North Carolina, and was 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.[37] Arpin contested the full season, while Deegan competed in seven of the season's 12 races.[38]
In 2016 Arpin and Deegan were back full time. Arpin got the team's first win at Daytona, with Deegan winning the finale in Los Angeles.
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.[39]

FIA World Endurance Championship
On 12 June 2015, at Le Mans, it was announced that Ford would return to the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans with a factory-supported, four-car effort operating as Ford Chip Ganassi Racing.[40] The cars would 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.
Ford Chip Ganassi Racing won the 2016 GTE category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, making Chip Ganassi the only team owner in history to win the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Rolex 24 At Dayona, 12 Hours of Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. [41]
