What's next for Chip Ganassi Racing? A team that no longer has a driver in NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup announced Friday it is changing brands for its IndyCar teams.
Which at least prompts speculation about the Cup team's future with its current nameplate.
Here's why: Ganassi will drop its affiliation with Chevy in favor of Honda engines in its Verizon IndyCar Series program. Ganassi has ties with Ford in other racing ventures.
There's no immediate indication that Ganassi will leave Chevy in Sprint Cup. But for years there has been speculation that a second Japanese carmaker might jump into NASCAR to challenge Toyota.
