LEXINGTON, Ohio — Six-time IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon is ending a remarkable run with Chip Ganassi Racing.

The team owner announced Thursday that Dixon recently informed CGR he would not return in 2027.

“Scott has meant so much to CGR over the past 24 years,” Ganassi said in a team release. “Together we’ve shared championships, many victories and countless moments that have helped define this organization.”

Ganassi said he believed the 45-year-old Dixon’s contract gave him an opportunity to end his career with the team.

“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.”
