@CGRTeams @scottdixon9 @GanassiChip It was a special honor to join @scottdixon9 and the other inductees last night, but I hope they left some room at the bottom of the display because he’s not done yet!
Congratulations to Sir Scott Dixon, Giampaolo Dallara, and Jim and Joanie Voyles - such a deserving group!

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

I didn’t know him nearly as well as most of the people @CGRTeams but he still insisted I wear his medal for this photo. A fierce competitor, leader and role model to the end. There is going to be some great storytelling up there! I hope they are ready for donuts in heaven!

@Indycar_Wxman Maybe ground clutter - but they look too strong and too far from the radar source. (Unless it is wind farm as @bkossow asserted)

1 week to St. Pete practice 1!
Excited to see what @FOXSports can do to help grow the sport we love!

[Will Buxton @wbuxtonofficial]

No more searching. Every single race will be live on Fox. Absolutely huge.

@CGRTeams 7:30 - 5:30 = long day????
Normal Day for your engineers = 7AM - 6PM!
Have to work even longer to get punishment pizza!

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

Passed one of these on the way to @milwaukeemile23 today. Not sure why you need one, but it is impressive (in a ridiculous way).

@TommyKendall11 @GanassiChip Every time we win I’m “on for another week” 😂

Hours of work in this little box… and they were worth it!
Congratulations to ⁦@AlexPalou⁩ ⁦@AmericanLegion⁩ ⁦@GanassiChip⁩ all of ⁦@CGRTeams⁩ partners and of course my teammates.
Most of all I couldn’t do it without you ⁦@joycesimmons32⁩ ❤️

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

They are supposed to be like kids, love everyone equally.
And everyone one has a lot of stories and memories to go with it.
BUT it is hard to top the 2010 Championship and Indy 500 one when I was lead engineer for @dariofranchitti !

@PushyLoose @AlexPalou @AmericanLegion @GanassiChip @CGRTeams @joycesimmons32 Also, do you have a favorite? Whether it be for sentimental reasons or aesthetic?

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

Super proud of all that @CGRTeams accomplished so-far this season (@IMSA @FIAWEC @ExtremeELive & @IndyCar hybrid testing still going).

Even with all the success it can get a little cheeky toward season end:

[Chip Ganassi Racing ⚡️ @CGRTeams]

What. A. Night. 🤩

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

It is a nice first world problem to have! A few of the ones that are a little snug these days are due for a cleaning too.
Thanks for your support @kirkgillette and @NTTDATAServices!

[Kirk Gillette @kirkgillette]

@PushyLoose @AlexPalou @AmericanLegion @GanassiChip @CGRTeams @joycesimmons32 Congratulations to all. @PushyLoose it looks like is time to get a larger box 👏🏆🏁

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

⏰Victory Monday - Great to Win with @scottdixon9 @PNCBank. Truly some rarified air : 55 wins, 19 straight seasons w/ win, 6 Championships - #Legend
Every finish starts w/ a lot of selfless @CGRTeams teamwork behind the scenes. Proud to be a part of it!

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

One of these guys (@scottdixon9) hit 54 IndyCar victories today. His race engineer Ross Bunnell got his 1st (as lead engineer). I think they both have a lot more wins to come!
Most others are b/w 1-54, but @GanassiChip and @IndyMHull are considerably higher!
#chiplikeswinners

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

Congratulations to @josefnewgarden & @Team_Penske. It got crazy at the end, and they were there to take advantage.
Most races 2-4-6-7 would be a great result, but it hurts at Indy.
Super proud of the effort, teamwork, and hard work from everyone @CGRTeams and our partners #2024

[Chris Simmons @PushyLoose]

Enjoy the #Indy500 today but remember what this weekend is about. #BeTheOne @AmericanLegion
