Tony Kanaan, NTT Data to continue with Ganassi in 2017

Chip Ganassi Racing have announced that Tony Kanaan and sponsor NTT Data will return to the team in 2017.

The deal with NTT Data is believed to be a multi-year agreement and it follows Target's decision to withdraw their backing of the team after more than 20 years.

Meanwhile, the confirmation of 2004 IRL champion Kanaan's return ends any speculation regarding his immediate future.

"I'm thrilled to be back with Chip and NTT Data – it's been one of the most rewarding partnerships of my career," said Kanaan. "It's been great having a partner in NTT Data that is so committed to making our on-track performance as strong as it can be and I think it's really shown in our growth together over the last few years. Our 2016 season was strong, but our results didn't always reflect our performance and we definitely have some unfinished business heading into 2017."
