Chip Ganassi Racing signed 18-year-old Dylan Kwasniewski to be its next development driver on Sunday, adding another top young talent to its stable. Ganassi announced the deal with Kwasniewski shortly before the start of the NASCAR race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Kwasniewski's hometown track. ''I think it's important to have a pipeline, and he's the next driver in that pipeline.'' Ganassi said the teen probably is still a few years away from being ready for a NASCAR ride, but the development deal means Kwasniewski will get a head start in learning how to be a Sprint Cup driver. He'll see the inner workings of the Ganassi team, learning alongside its two drivers, Jamie McMurray and 21-year-old Kyle Larson.
