LEBANON, Tenn. (July 12, 2008) – Scott Dixon’s win in the IndyCar Series Nashville Superspeedway race tonight marked the 100th overall win for Chip Ganassi Racing Teams, Inc.   It also marks Dixon’s fourth of the season and sixth for Team Target over the first 11 races of 2008.  In all, Ganassi’s teams have made it to victory lane 11 times this season, two shy of their record 13 of 2007.
