Kevin Magnussen and Renger van der Zande Confirmed for Ganassi Cadillac DPi

Seven-time IMSA Champions and Eight-time Rolex 24 At Daytona Winners Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) announced today their IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship driver lineup with ex McLaren, Renault and current Haas F1 driver Kevin Magnussen joining two-time Rolex 24 At Daytona winner and ex Wayne Taylor Racing Cadillac DPi driver Renger van der Zande for the team’s Cadillac DPi entry beginning with the 2021 season.

The team’s endurance drivers will be announced at a later date.

Kevin Magnussen:

“If you are in professional racing anywhere in the world, you know the name Chip Ganassi and what it represents in motorsports. Chip has built one of the best racing organization’s on and off the track, and you can look back in history and see the tremendous record of success, especially as it relates to sports car racing. It’s a great opportunity for myself to team up with CGR, Renger and Cadillac. I can’t wait to get started, meet the team and begin preparations for the 2021 season.”

Renger van der Zande:

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have raced and won with Scott [Dixon] in sports cars and I think he really embodies what the whole Chip Ganassi Racing organization is all about. It’s a first-class operation and the team knows how to win the big races. One of the things that stood out to me was hearing that as a former driver, Chip always wanted to create and build a team that he would want to drive for. He has certainly done that, and those results speak for themselves across many series around the world. I think Kevin and I are both excited to say the least, and ready to get the 2021 season started at Daytona.”
