Chip Ganassi Racing is expanding to five cars for next year’s IndyCar season to accommodate 18-year-old development driver Kyffin Simpson.The expansion for Simpson will give Ganassi three rookies in next year’s Indianapolis 500.

He was evasive on Simpson, a Cayman Islands native who is the son of businessman David Simpson, whose Ridgeline Lubricants company has sponsored many Ganassi cars since mid-2022.“We just throw darts. We don’t really play much,” Ganassi joked when asked what the future might look like for the Cayman Islands-nat...
