INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum on Thursday unveiled several cars acquired from Chip Ganassi Racing during a media event.

The museum operators say it’s the largest acquisition since 2011 and the first modern-era Indy cars to be added to the collection, and several of the cars will be on display within a year.

Five Indianapolis 500-winning cars — including two of Dario Franchitti’s Target-branded cars — were unveiled in front of the museum Thursday morning for the media event.

Here are the acquisitions:

• Juan Pablo Montoya’s 2000 Indianapolis 500 Winner, Target G-force GF05.
• Scott Dixon’s 2008 Indianapolis 500 Winner, Target Chip Ganassi Racing Dallara IR6.
• Dario Franchitti’s 2010 Indianapolis 500 Winner, Target Chip Ganassi Racing Dallara IR6.
• Dario Franchitti’s 2012 Indianapolis 500 Winner, Target Chip Ganassi Racing Dallara IR12.
• Marcus Ericsson’s 2022 Indianapolis 500 Winner, Huski Chocolate Chip Ganassi Racing Honda Dallara IR18.
• Scott Dixon’s 2022 Indianapolis 500 Pole Winner, PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda Dallara.
• DW12, in which he passed Al Unser as the all-time leader in most laps led in the “500.”
• Jamie McMurray’s 2010 NASCAR Brickyard 400 Winner, Bass Pro Shops/ Tracker Boats Chevrolet Impala SS.
• Michael Andretti’s 1994 Target/Scotch Video Reynard 94I, Chip Ganassi Racing’s first team win.
• 1996 Player’s/Indeck Reynard 96I, Greg Moore’s rookie year car.
• 1998 CART Championship-winning car, the 1998 Reynard 98I, driven by Alex Zanardi.
• Juan Pablo Montoya’s Target Lola B2K/00, which won the 2000 Michigan 500.
• Tomas Scheckter’s Target Chip Ganassi Racing G-Force GF09, in which he placed fourth at the 2003 “500”—the South African driver’s best finish at Indianapolis.
• Scott Dixon’s 2015 IndyCar Championship-winning car, Target Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet Dallara DW12.
• Delta Wing, one of three chassis proposals for the 2012 IndyCar season, which was unveiled at the 2010 Chicago Auto Show.

Franchetti said Thursday at the media event, “To see my two cars and the memories it brings back from here at the speedway, that was special. And then you see, we got Monty’s car from 2000, you got Scott’s car from ’08, you got Marcus’ car and you see the history that Chip has at the speedway and you realize it’s going to be on show in a museum. That is pretty special.”
