Chip Ganassi Racing, Chevrolet

#1. Jamie McMurray is in the midst of a career-best season at age 41. While he is still winless since the 2013 season, he is a legitimate championship contender this season. Chip Ganassi Racing would be crazy to let him go elsewhere in 2018.. Chip Ganassi Racing. Chevrolet. JAMIE MCMURRAY

Chip Ganassi Racing. Chevrolet. KYLE LARSON. #42. As crazy as Chip Ganassi Racing would be to let Jamie McMurray go, they would be 100 times as crazy to let Kyle Larson go. This 24-year-old has already emerged as NASCAR’s top driver. While a two-car team may not be the strongest option for him, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and it sure ain’t broke. Larson also wants to drive in the Indianapolis 500 one day, which is something that Chip Ganassi could make a reality.
