Franchitti to NASCAR’s Ganassi team expected this week
Quote selected text Published October 1st, 2007 in NASCAR News
Team owner Chip Ganassi said he is hopeful to have a contract with reigning Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti signed this week. Franchitti, who remains under contract with Andretti Green Racing in the IndyCar Series, is joining Ganassi’s NASCAR Cup team for the 2008 season.
The plan has been for Franchitti to compete in the ARCA race Friday at Talladega Superspeedway. But Franchitti is scheduled to run the American LeMans Series event at Road Atlanta on Saturday for AGR with teammates Bryan Herta and Tony Kanaan.
“Hopefully it will be done this week and hopefully he’ll be in Talladega — hopefully,” Ganassi said Sunday before the Cup race at Kansas Speedway. “I’m working hard on it. I’ve been working on it every single day. He likes to race. He wants to be here.”
