Chip Ganassi Racing has more decisions to make about its next NTT IndyCar Series line-up than any of its rivals. Across its four cars and the five drivers signed to its open-wheel roster, only Scott Dixon and the No. 9 Honda are sorted for the future.

Dixon will continue his pursuit of additional championships to add to the six he’s earned so far, but his supporting cast — and the driver who might carry the team into the future whenever the 43-year-old retires — have yet to be identified for 2024 and beyond.
