Summary
Chip Ganassi Racing confirmed Thursday that six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon will leave after 25 seasons, putting the No. 9 car on the market for 2027.
RACER reported the 42-year-old could move to Arrow McLaren, a shift that would reshape the series' driver market and intensify IndyCar's annual 'silly season.'
Arrow McLaren is also rumored to be pursuing Indianapolis 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist, who is not returning to Meyer Shank Racing next season, alongside incumbent Pato O'Ward.
The vacancy beside four-time champion Alex Palou now becomes one of IndyCar's most coveted seats, with Christian Lundgaard emerging as one possible candidate if Arrow McLaren finalizes a new lineup.
