Tony Kanaan has re-signed with Chip Ganassi Racing for the 2017 IndyCar season alongside team sponsor NTT Data.
This will be Kanaan's fourth season with the outfit and his first racing with Honda power following the announcement that Ganassi will switch from Chevrolet next year.
"We are very happy to re-sign Tony to drive the No. 10 for us, but are just as pleased to bring a great partner like NTT DATA back to the team," commented Chip Ganassi.
"Tony has played a strong role as one of the leaders of this team both on and off the track and we feel fortunate to have him back. NTT DATA has proved to be a fantastic partner in many different aspects of our organization.
"They are not only on our cars but they have also used their technological expertise to help in numerous other aspects of the race team. They have been with us for the last four years and we look forward to strengthening our relationship with them for years to come."
The 2004 IndyCar champion and 2013 Indy 500 winner added: "I’m thrilled to be back with Chip and NTT DATA – it’s been one of the most rewarding partnerships of my career. 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."
