🔮 Christian Lundgaard will be replacing six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon in the famed No. 9 car for Chip Ganassi Racing.
🔮 Things couldn’t have gone much better for Larson The No. 5 team couldn’t have executed a whole lot better on Sunday.
🔮 The team announced earlier this month that John Hunter Nemechek would not be back in the No. 42 next season, and that Josh Berry would be taking over the ride.
🔮 So, both will start near the front Sunday — Larson alongside Bristol winner Joey Logano on the front row, Hamlin alongside Ty Gibbs on the fifth — without having to worry about qualifying.
