Barry Wanser is on the cusp of doing something he was unable to last year: be present to celebrate a championship with his team.
The team manager for Chip Ganassi Racing and race strategist for Alex Palou, Wanser missed the last two rounds of the 2023 season after multiple surgeries and treatments were needed to remove cancer from his throat and tongue. While he remained involved, he was left watching from home as his driver and team hoisted the Astor Cup Trophy at Laguna Seca.
