Indy-winning engineer Cowdin exits Chip Ganassi Racing

Indianapolis 500-winning race engineer Eric Cowdin has departed Chip Ganassi Racing.

Cowdin (pictured above left with Scott Harner and Charlie Kimball in 2017) came to prominence as Tony Kanaan’s race engineer at the Tasman Motorsport Indy Lights team in 1996, where he and the Brazilian went on to win the title in 1997 before moving to the CART IndyCar Series. Although Cowdin and Kanaan worked for a variety of teams in the years that followed, they reunited at KVSH Racing and went to victory lane at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2013.
