IndyCar rookie Linus Lundqvist has signed a multi-year deal with 15-time champion team Chip Ganassi Racing, starting in 2024.
He immediately excelled, qualifying 11th on his debut in Nashville before crashing out near the end of the race after an impressive debut run. He then finished 12th on the Indianapolis Road Course and 18th at St Louis last weekend on his oval debut in the series.
Lundqvist also set fastest lap at both Nashville and St Louis, demonstrating his speed and versatility.“It’s terrific that the opportunity to hire Linus, a proven winner, plus the reigning 2022 Indy NXT champion, is now a reality at Chip Ganassi Racing,” said Hull. “He has shown that his on-track performance creates the racecraft separation that’s required in IndyCar today.
“I have dipped my toes into IndyCar racing in recent weeks, which will give me a little bit of a head start going into 2024,” added Lundqvist. “Coming up through Indy NXT has provided me with some important experience that will help me get up to speed. “Having said that, this is an entirely new challenge as I prepare to join an established top team at the highest level of the sport. I know there is a lot of hard work ahead, but having a team like Chip Ganassi Racing put their trust in me is the greatest motivator I could ever have.
“I intend to do everything in my power to grab this opportunity and I look forward to all the moments ahead, next year and beyond.”
