About Chip Ganassi:
Following a successful career as a driver, Chip Ganassi set his sights on
ownership in 1988. The Target Chip Ganassi Racing team earned Championship
Auto Racing Teams (CART) championships in four consecutive years from1996
through 1999. In 2000, driving for the first time on the 2.5-mile oval in a
different styled open-wheel car, Target Chip Ganassi Racing's Juan Montoya
blew away the competition in the Indianapolis 500, claiming the title for
his team, which had not raced at the famed brickyard since 1995.  Ganassi
entered NASCAR Winston Cup Series racing in 2000, and with Sterling Marlin
currently leading the point standings, Ganassi appears to be building for
continued success.
