2027 NTT IndyCar Series driver lineup prediction, after Chip Ganassi news

Following Christian Lundgaard replacing Scott Dixon at Chip Ganassi Racing, Asher Fair examines predictions for the five remaining open seats on the 2027 IndyCar grid. The driver lineup is taking shape after major offseason moves, including Dennis Hauger replacing Santino Ferrucci at A.J. Foyt Enterprises and Dixon moving to Arrow McLaren.

Fair predicts Rinus VeeKay will retain his seat with Juncos Hollinger Racing, while Romain Grosjean and reigning Indy NXT champion Nikita Johnson could land Dale Coyne Racing rides. Fair also suggests Callum Ilott may return to Juncos Hollinger Racing, with Josh Pierson and Ferrucci potentially sharing Foyt's second car.
