Chip Ganassi Racing has implemented major engineering roster changes for their 2025 IndyCar season, reducing from five entries to three while strengthening their technical alliance with Meyer Shank Racing (MSR).

Key Engineering Assignments:

• Luke Goldenstein joins from JDX Racing to engineer Kyffin Simpson's No. 8 Honda
• Brad Goldberg moves to Scott Dixon's No. 9 Honda after previous success with Marcus Ericsson
• Julian Robertson continues with Alex Palou's No. 10 Honda, maintaining their championship-winning partnership
• Ross Bunnell transitions to MSR to engineer Felix Rosenqvist
• Angela Ashmore moves to MSR to work with Marcus Armstrong

Goldenstein's return to Ganassi brings valuable experience from Newman/Haas Racing and RuSport Champ Car. Taylor Kiel, CGR's director of racing teams, expressed confidence in Goldenstein's ability to provide equal opportunities for Simpson's program.

Goldberg's promotion to Dixon's car represents a significant milestone in his career progression within the organization. The move showcases Ganassi's commitment to developing internal talent while maintaining competitive advantage.

The MSR alliance strengthens through the deployment of experienced engineers Ashmore and Bunnell, who will bring fresh perspectives to the partnership. This strategic restructuring aims to maximize the potential of both teams while ensuring continuous innovation and improvement.

The only unchanged pairing remains Palou and Robertson, who have secured three championships in four years, demonstrating the team's philosophy of maintaining successful partnerships while optimizing other positions for maximum performance.
