Ganassi to unveil plans: Target Chip Ganassi Racing will announce its driver plans for the 85th Indianapolis 500 at a press conference at 9:30 a.m. (EST) May 7 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Ganassi Racing won the race last year with driver Juan Montoya, who moved to Formula One this season. Jimmy Vasser was Montoya's teammate last year at Indy but parted company with Ganassi at the end of the 2000 CART season.

Rookies Nicolas Minassian and Bruno Junqueira, Ganassi's drivers in the CART series, are listed as the team's Indy drivers on its entries.
