Headline: Ganassi First In Line For 87th Indianapolis 500

Message: Target Chip Ganassi Racing filed two entries for the 2003 Indianapolis 500-Mile Race on March 5, becoming the first team to officially enter the 87th running of the world's greatest auto race.

The Indianapolis-based team named 2002 Indianapolis 500 Bank One co-Rookie of the Year Tomas Scheckter and fellow IRL IndyCar™ Series driver Scott Dixon, who will be a rookie at Indy, as drivers of the team's Target Chip Ganassi Racing Panoz G Force/Toyota/Firestone entries. Current IndyCar Series points leader Dixon will drive the No. 9 car, while Scheckter will be in the No. 10 entry.

Team owner Chip Ganassi and managing director Mike Hull filed the entries along with Dixon and Scheckter at IRL headquarters in Indianapolis just a few hours after the entry invitations were mailed earlier in the day.
