Get a ganassi shoot-out for car #10!
If I were Chip, I would remember the days Montoya took the series by surprise and demonstrated what pure talent means! He came to Europe and battled amongst the best but couldn't get the F1 break he was seeking. Thank God for that as it gave Chip the chance to put a super talent in his car and win all in 1999 and 2000!!!
I would go back to that these gut feelings. I would go for a fresh, new talent, a new face in Indycar and build up the excitement by organising a highly mediatic shoot-out on race course and oval for my favorite top 5 drivers of the moment! Besides Sage Karam, I would bring Paul di Resta (freshly out of F1 but mostly Darios' cousin...) and Sam bird, GP2 runner-up and GP2 team champion with 5 Wins! Maybe Lucas Filipi and Simona di Silvestro to see what a talented girl can achieve in a top car. And benchmark them to Dixon or even Kanan on both days!!
If none are close enough, Kanan gets the #10 car and the promising rookie the NTT car. Win-win situation for Chip!!
