Chip Ganassi Racing has announced the signing of Alessandro de Tullio for the 2027 Indy NXT season, with the driver also taking on a reserve role for the team's IndyCar program. The move continues the organization's tradition of developing young talent through its development ladder.
De Tullio will compete in the Indy NXT series, which serves as the primary feeder championship for the NTT IndyCar Series. His reserve driver duties will see him available to step into an IndyCar seat if needed during the 2027 season.
The announcement was made on November 11, 2026, by the team's motorsport operations. De Tullio joins a program that has historically produced multiple IndyCar champions and race winners through its driver development system.
