In November 2008 two of auto racing’s biggest names – Earnhardt and Ganassi – launched a multi-car race team through the combination of the motorsports operations of Dale Earnhardt, Inc. and Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates.  Combined, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates now sports a history that includes six NASCAR championships, over 120 victories, 80 pole positions, over 200 top-fives and three Daytona 500 crowns. 

In 2009, the newly formed organization transitioned to Chevrolets and moved to the former CGRFS building in Concord, NC. Former Indianapolis 500 winner and Formula 1 star Juan Pablo Montoya led the organization to their first-ever spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup behind the No. 41 Target Chevrolet and finished out the season with an eighth-place finish in the Championship standings.

The Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates team, fresh off their most successful season to date, is looking forward to continuing this success in 2010.  Jamie McMurray takes over the reins of the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops / Tracker Boats Chevrolet from Martin Truex, Jr., reuniting him with Chip Ganassi, who McMurray drove for when he first entered the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2002, winning his first race in just his second start.
