Johnson who made his NTT IndyCar race debut on a partial schedule alongside IndyCar Series veteran Tony Kanaan in 2021 made the step up to a full-time programme in 2022 said:
Competing at this level in #INDYCAR has been a dream come true. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to race for than Chip Ganassi and @CGRTeams.”
