08/19 - Meyer Shank Racing has had a technical alliance with Andrettti Global since
2017. MSR is switching their alliance to Chip Ganassi Racing beginning next year.
Good timing for CGR, who will likely reduce their entries from five to three next year and
thus be able to keep their IndyCar engineers employeed by sending them to help MSR.
