Chip Ganassi Racing has revealed a refreshed livery for the #10 car set to compete in the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series. Alex Palou, driving this entry, will showcase the new design in the upcoming season, further strengthening the partnership with DHL, the primary sponsor closely associated with the vehicle.
Details of the New Color Scheme and Driver Involvement
The livery keeps the familiar red and yellow color palette historically tied to DHL’s branding. However, this year’s version emphasizes yellow more prominently, with red now highlighting only the edges of the body panels, the top of the engine cover, and the rear wing.
The launch was presented through a playful video on social media where Palou actively directed the design process. In the clip, he brought various DHL branding samples into the Chip Ganassi Racing offices and repeatedly insisted on adding “more” yellow to the paint scheme, highlighting his involvement beyond just driving the car.
Continuing Sponsorship and Season Outlook
DHL has been the main sponsor of Palou’s car for two seasons, having shifted from their previous support of Andretti at the close of 2023. The #10 entry is set to race under the DHL colors for most of the 18-race 2026 schedule, although other sponsors might appear for select events, similar to the past season’s approach.
Palou is preparing to return to competition within the next four weeks, aiming to defend the NTT IndyCar Series championship he secured last August. The season opener will be held on the streets of St. Petersburg from February 27 through March 1, marking the beginning of his campaign with the revamped livery.
