INDIANAPOLIS (April 8, 2026) – Proceeds from Chip Ganassi Racing’s 2026 trading cards, featuring iconic images of the team’s cars and drivers, will benefit education nonprofit DonorsChoose, a PNC Grow Up Great® partner supporting public school and Head Start classrooms. In 2025, the trading card program raised over $20,000 for charities across the country.

Lucky fans may receive cards autographed by Scott Dixon, six-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion and driver of the No. 9 PNC Bank Honda, defending INDYCAR and Indianapolis 500 champion Alex Palou, driver of the No. 10 DHL Honda, and rising star Kyffin Simpson, driver of the No. 8 Sunoco Honda.

Dixon, who has supported PNC Grow Up Great efforts since 2018, has visited high-quality education centers across the country engaging in reading and other early learning activities with thousands of preschoolers, helping to expand and support PNC Grow Up Great and create the next generation of INDYCAR fans.
