Chip Ganassi Racing Notches First Extreme E Win in Sardinia

The No. 99 GMC HUMMER EV was triumphant Thursday, securing their first ever victory in the Extreme-E series in the Round 2 race in Sardinia, Italy.

The victory for Kyle LeDuc, Sara Price and the Chip Ganassi Racing Extreme-E crew came after an up-and-down start at the Island X Prix. The team topped the leaderboard in both practices Tuesday, but then faced adversity the following day during Qualifying.

Kyle LeDuc and Sara Price vaulted to P1 after a 30-second penalty was enforced on the No. 6 car for a collision on the first lap of the Final. The victory awarded the No. 99 GMC HUMMER EV Chip Ganassi Racing team 25 points, a momentous swing after a solid P4 finish in the season-opening race in February.

Kyle LeDuc, No. 99 GMC HUMMER EV Chip Ganassi Racing - “It was a rollercoaster ride, and I don’t know how to put it into words, but we all did our job today. We have a great GMC HUMMER EV team where everyone works so hard. We’re ready to take this success and apply it to the next race this weekend.”

The team also seized a victory in the Crazy Race with a time of 10:22.991, setting themselves up for a successful venture in the Final.

Sara Price, No. 99 GMC HUMMER EV Chip Ganassi Racing - "We did what we had to do to get through the Crazy Race today. We were consistent and pushed through the Final race to get our first win. It was such a team effort all around; I’m so proud of everyone. We made some serious progress this week and I’m ready to take on round three this weekend.”
