  "account": "Chip Ganassi Racing has signed Christian Lundgaard to replace Scott Dixon in the No. 9 car for the 2027 IndyCar season. The Danish driver, who won two races last year, finished third in the championship after his best season ever. Arrow McLaren let Lundgaard go in favor of Scott Dixon and Felix Rosenqvist. The 25-year-old has never finished higher than sixth in 27 oval starts, but has one podium on an oval track. CGR owner Chip Ganassi described the signing as an honor and a privilege, noting the team's legacy and the opportunity to be part of it. Arrow McLaren recognized Lundgaard's potential, but chose to move on with Dixon, Rosenqvist and Ryan Hunter-Reay. The pairing of Lundgaard and Alex Palou is expected to be a strong duo, especially on road and street circuits.",
