Christian Lundgaard is on the search for a new team in the NTT IndyCar Series. On Monday, Arrow McLaren announced that Lundgaard will not return to the organization in 2027. This comes after Scott Dixon and Felix Rosenqvist joined McLaren. So, where is Lundgaard likely to go for the 2027 campaign?
Lundgaard has emerged as the “definitive favorite” to replace Dixon in the No. 9 car at Chip Ganassi Racing in 2027, as reported by FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass. This would be an outstanding landing spot for the McLaren driver, who would become teammates with four-time IndyCar Series champion Alex Palou.
There aren’t many better seats in IndyCar than Chip Ganassi Racing’s No. 9 car, and Lundgaard appears to be the heavy favorite to take it over. It was a very disappointing development for Lundgaard to be pushed out of McLaren; however, he could earn one of the most coveted seats on the IndyCar grid for 2027.
