Chip Ganassi Racing Launches CGR Media

INDIANAPOLIS (July 30, 2026) — Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) will launch a new in-house editorial division called CGR Media. It is a strategic initiative designed to produce premium long-form video and print content for fans while delivering enhanced value to its partners in an evolving media landscape, keeping the team as a leader in motorsports competition and innovation. CGR has named longtime motorsports journalist Jenna Fryer to oversee the division, which will encompass public relations and expanded storytelling efforts.

The new division will focus on creating compelling, original stories, including documentary-style video, and behind-the-scenes, high-quality editorial features. By investing in content creation capabilities, CGR aims to deepen fan engagement and provide partners with integrated opportunities that extend beyond traditional sponsorship models.

Fryer, widely respected for her decades of coverage at The Associated Press, brings deep industry knowledge, storytelling expertise, and credibility to the role. She will oversee editorial direction, in addition to leading CGR’s PR strategy and execution nationwide as the organization continues to build this new media platform.

The CGR Media Division will work collaboratively with the team’s digital content team and partners to develop tailored storytelling initiatives. In an era where teams are increasingly acting as media platforms, CGR is positioned to lead by combining on-track excellence with world-class content production.

This move reflects Chip Ganassi Racing's commitment to staying at the forefront of both competition and commercial strategy, reinforcing its role not only as a championship-winning race team, but as a dynamic content engine within the global sports ecosystem. CGR Media will ultimately be supported by a new website and mobile app, creating a centralized destination for premium editorial, video, and behind-the-scenes content that deepens fan engagement and delivers greater value to its partners.
