Share this @internewscast.com

Alex Palou’s historic season at Chip Ganassi Racing will include a ground-breaking primary sponsorship for this weekend’s Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio IndyCar Series race.

OpenAI, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence organizations, will be the primary partner on the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) Honda driven by three-time NTT IndyCar Series champion and 2025 Indianapolis 500 winner Alex Palou at Mid-Ohio.

Winner of six of the first nine races in 2025, OpenAI has made the trip to victory lane with Palou and CGR but will be looking for the first time as the primary partner. Palou’s No. 10 Honda will feature a matte black livery.

“Partnering with OpenAI has been a game-changer for our organization,” team owner Chip Ganassi said. “Whether it’s gaining insights in the front office or unlocking performance on the racetrack, their technology is helping us think faster, move smarter, and stay at the forefront of innovation.”

What began in February as a strategic research collaboration has evolved into a powerful marketing and innovation platform. Throughout the 2025 season, the partnership between OpenAI and Chip Ganassi Racing has deepened, delivering real-world applications both on the racetrack and in the front office, enhancing efficiency, automation and performance across the organization.

“At its core, this collaboration is about curiosity, and how human skill and AI can push each other further,” said Sarah Russell, Head of Integrated Marketing, Open AI. “We’re proud to be represented at Mid-Ohio with Chip Ganassi Racing as part of our ongoing effort to explore how AI can complement human expertise and help advance performance.”

Palou is already on track for a historic season. Winning six of the first nine races in 2025, he and the No. 10 team are tied for the most wins in a season since open wheel reunification in 2008 (Scott Dixon, 2008; Will Power, 2011) and are four wins away from the overall record of 10 (A.J. Foyt, 1964; Al Unser, 1970). Through 90 career races, Palou has 17 wins and 50 top 5 finishes.

CGR is tied for the most team wins in IndyCar history at Mid-Ohio with 12. Palou has finished on the podium in every start with CGR at the track, including a win in 2023 and a pole position and runner-up finish in 2024.

Coverage of the race begins at 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, July 6, live on FOX.
