The last race of Scott Dixon’s farewell season with Chip Ganassi Racing ended in a similar fashion to the first race of 2026. Both were unrewarding and unrepresentative of the six-time champion’s 25-year tenure with CGR, but he persevered through adversity to place 17th in the No. 9 Honda and farewell the only team he’s known since 2002.

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing has confirmed Conor Daly as the driver of its new full-time IndyCar Series entry.
