Ganassi Changes Car Number To Celebrate Target Partnership

Target Chip Ganassi Racing will give the number 10 Target Honda of two-time Indianapolis 500 Winner Dario Franchitti a new look, changing it to the No. 50 for the 96th Running of the Indianapolis 500. The move is meant to honor Target's 50th Anniversary in 2012, nearly half of which have seen it partnered with Ganassi Racing. The Ganassi sponsorship is the longest in the company's history.

"Partnering with the Ganassi team has been a true highlight of Target's first 50 years in business," said Gregg Steinhafel, Chairman, President and CEO, Target. "We are excited that our guests and team will see our 50th anniversary commemorated with the new No. 50 on Dario's car during the Indianapolis 500. What an outstanding tribute from a tremendous partner."
