SOLO Extends Partnership with Ganassi to Full Season

SOLO and Chip Ganassi Racing have renewed their partnership for the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, with the fan-favorite brand extending its presence with the team at the associate level to the full 18-race NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.

Last year, SOLO made its INDYCAR debut with Chip Ganassi Racing at Road America, where four-time series champion Alex Palou drove the No. 10 SOLO Cup Honda to victory (photo, below).

“It’s really cool to have SOLO back with the team for the 2026 season, especially after winning together last year at Road America,” Palou said. “That weekend was a lot of fun, and it made the partnership even more special. I really enjoyed working with their brand, and I’m excited to do it again all season long as we go after more wins.”

SOLO plans to have a fan-focused activation at select INDYCAR SERIES races in 2026, bringing the party to fans in the paddock and across the country. Chip Ganassi Racing will continue its fan-favorite SOLO-themed social media series throughout 2026 season. Showcasing the iconic cup in a variety of fun games fans can play at home, expect the team to compete throughout the season for the prize: the ultimate SOLO Cup.

SOLO is celebrating “Cheers to 50 Years” as 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic party cup.

“SOLO is thrilled to join Chip Ganassi Racing for the 2026 INDYCAR season,” said Kimberly Healy, senior vice president, SOLO Brand. “CGR and SOLO share the honor of having extremely loyal fans, and we’re excited to bring the SOLO fun vibes to the party, from backyard BBQs and campgrounds to the racetrack.”

The 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season starts Sunday, March 1 with the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg (noon ET, FOX, FOX One, FOX Deportes, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network).
