Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates is a NASCAR team based in Concord, North Carolina. Originally formed in 1980, the team was owned by seven-time Winston Cup champion Dale Earnhardt, before his death in a crash on the closing lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. Despite his ownership of the racing team, he never raced for it in the Winston Cup; instead preferring to race for his long-time mentor and backer Richard Childress at RCR. The team in its current iteration was formed in late 2008 with a joint venture of DEI's teams with the NASCAR operation of Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (Ganassi's other operations, including its IndyCar Series teams, still exist as a separate entity).

Earnhardt Ganassi Racing is currently owned by widow Teresa Earnhardt, Chip Ganassi, and Felix Sabates. The organization currently fields four full-time Sprint Cup teams- the #1 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet for Martin Truex, Jr.; the #42 Target Chevrolet for Juan Pablo Montoya, the #8 Cub Cadet Chevrolet for Aric Almirola, and the #34 WindowWorld.com Chevrolet for John Andretti as part of a partnership with Front Row Motorsports.
