Six-time IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon is leaving Chip Ganassi Racing after 24 years.
CGR confirmed the 45-year-old New Zealander would exit one day after ESPN reported Dixon and Sweden's Felix Rosenqvist are signing with Arrow McLaren for the 2027 season.
Dixon joined Chip Ganassi Racing in 2002 and won at least one race in every IndyCar season from 2005-25, including the 2008 Indianapolis 500. He has 32 poles, 58 wins and 143 podium finishes in his series career.
A statement from team owner
Chip Ganassi said Dixon recently informed him of his decision to part ways. Ganassi said the team offered him a multi-year contract to finish his career at CGR.
"We respect that he's chosen a different path and wish him nothing but continued success," Ganassi said. "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."
Dixon won the IndyCar Series titles in 2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2020.
He currently sits 10th in the drivers' standings with 211 points, trailing leader Alex Palou (374) of Spain by 163 points. He has one top-five finish and five top-10 finishes but no victories in 10 starts.
