Gannessy added:
“It’s always difficult to find great drivers, but it’s also much harder for them to be great drivers. Pairing people like Jimmy and Scott Dixon is a huge Opportunity.
I think everyone now knows “I like winners” and the goal now is to let us drive Jimmy on IndyCar for at least the next few seasons and show people that we value the plan.
We believe that it is important to complete the partnership and start building the financial foundation to achieve this goal.”
Johnson promised to complete his last complete NASCAR Cup series, with 9 games left.
