NASCAR Team Spotlight: Ganassi Racing

Ganassi Racing 2014 Preview



By Richard Tix

Another team that changed there name in 2014, Ganassi Racing has officially dropped the Earnhardt. They also officially dropped Juan Pablo Montoya in favor of the young gun Kyle Larson. Really, we wont have much to look back at in 2013 since Jamie McMurray is the only one returning.

2013 Team Stats *All McMurray
  • Wins: 1
  • Top 5: 4
  • Top 10: 9

Jamie McMurray
  • Well when doing a team spotlight that looks mostly at how the team did in 2013, and everyone is gone except McMurray, it may as well be a driver spotlight. You can see his stats up above. McMurray has always been a quality driver, but has never broken out to more than that. He does find a way to win every few years, most the time at super speedways so in 2014 he has a chance at the Chase. The big question is, will he be back with Ganassi in 2014?
  • Kyle has little experience in a Cup car, in fact he has had little experience in a Nationwide car. One thing we have seen in his little time is that the kid can drive. Is he ready in 2014? Wait and see. One thing I am pretty sure of is he wont back down just because these are veteran drivers (See his last lap battle with Kyle Busch in Nationwide last tear as an example). Just think, one year ago he was most known for going into the fence, now he will be starting the Daytona 500 in the Sprint Cup.
