WWLP SportsCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chip Ganassi has only one business — he's not a car dealer, he's not backed by private equity money — the Pittsburgh native focuses only on racing.
And in 35 years, he's proved to be good at his chosen profession.
Alex Palou closed the IndyCar season with his fourth championship — the first driver since Dario Franchitti to win three in a row, he actually won four titles in five seasons — to give Chip Ganassi Racing its 17th championship.
The 17 titles tie Ganassi with Team Penske for the series record. But for statistical purposes, Ganassi did it in his 35th anniversary season and Roger Penske has been racing for nearly two decades longer. And, since Jimmy Vasser in 1996 gave Ganassi his first title, no IndyCar team has won more championships over the past 30 seas
