Lundgaard looks ahead to reported move to Chip Ganassi Racing
Fox Sports reports that the 2026 standings’ third-place finisher will take Ganassi’s No. 9 seat after Arrow McLaren chose not to retain him.
Christian Lundgaard says he is focused on his next chapter at Chip Ganassi Racing after Arrow McLaren decided not to retain him. Fox Sports reports he will drive Ganassi’s No. 9 car, replacing Scott Dixon.
Lundgaard said he was initially confused and disappointed by McLaren’s decision. He told a virtual news conference that he had chosen to look ahead and focus on the opportunity.
He finished third in the 2026 INDYCAR standings with two victories, according to Fox Sports. Lundgaard spent three years at Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing before joining McLaren, where he won two races.
The reported move follows McLaren’s decision to bring Dixon and Felix Rosenqvist into its organisation, leaving Lundgaard and Nolan Siegel out. The supplied report does not include independent confirmation from Ganassi.
