Ganassi team to dump Dodge for Toyota

With the addition of Joe Gibbs Racing to the Toyota stable finalized, reports are surfacing that Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates could be next. Joe Gibbs Racing will announce Wednesday that they will switch to Toyota in 2008.

Felix Sabates who entered NASCAR in 1989 with driver Kyle Petty has raced General Motors products including Pontiac’s and Chevy’s. When Chip Ganassi purchased a majority interest in the team in 2001, they switched to Dodges; the brand they currently campaign. Cup Scene

[Editor's Note: We predicted this two years ago. We also predicted that Penske Racing South will eventually switch to Toyota as well, despite the team confirming their commitment to Dodge.
