Alessandro de Tullio is joining Chip Ganassi Racing for 2027 to race in Indy NXT and serve as the team’s IndyCar reserve for road and street course events. One deal, two very different reasons to bring a helmet. SourceSource
His race seat is in Indy NXT, the development series below IndyCar. The IndyCar appointment is a reserve role, not a full-time race seat, and its scope doesn’t include ovals. SourceSource
RACER reports that the 20-year-old took eight poles from 17 races, won twice and finished sixth in the 2026 Indy NXT championship with HMD Motorsports’ AJ Foyt Racing-badged effort. Eight poles makes a fairly persuasive job application. Source
Olé, citing the team, reports that he’ll provide simulator and track support on non-oval weekends. The outlet also reports, citing Ganassi’s website, that he’ll drive the No. 10 Indy NXT car. Source
“Pairing that program with an IndyCar reserve driver role gives him a valuable opportunity to learn from our drivers and engineers, contribute to the team in a variety of ways and build his experience as a driver,” Ganassi team manager Taylor Kiel said, as quoted by RACER. Source
