FORT WORTH, Texas – Earnhardt Ganassi Racing will remain a Chevrolet team in 2010, a source familiar with the situation said Sunday.
Team owner Chip Ganassi did not comment Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway when asked about his manufacturer situation nor did he address who would be replacing Martin Truex Jr. in the No. 1 car.
General Motors had to renegotiate its contracts with its teams as it went through bankruptcy reorganization over the summer. Team officials have said since that time that they are still trying to decide on a manufacturer for 2010 and both GM and Toyota officials said they have had conversations with the two-car organization.
“They’re doing a great job on track, and we’ll see what we can do to keep them in a bowtie next year, but again, you know how this business is and people move around, not only from team to team but manufacturer to manufacturer,” GM Racing manager Mark Kent said earlier this week.
Chip Ganassi Racing was a Dodge team but switched to Chevrolet for 2009 after its merger with Dale Earnhardt Inc.
