Overview

  • Ganassi told reporters he has not discussed a NASCAR comeback with Honda or NASCAR, while adding he is “smart enough to never say never.”
  • Motorsport.com assessed that Ganassi more than likely is not pursuing a Cup Series charter at this time.
  • Court filings reported by EssentiallySports indicate NASCAR is preparing to transfer a charter formerly held by 23XI Racing or Front Row Motorsports, with no buyer named.
  • Reporting notes Honda is evaluating a future Cup Series program, a move that could enable NASCAR to release additional ownership charters.
  • Ganassi sold his Cup assets and charters to Trackhouse Racing after 2021 and has since amassed multiple IndyCar titles with Alex Palou.
