Guardian Alarm Partners with Chip Ganassi Racing for Multiple Races Across NASCAR & INDYCAR
SOUTHFIELD, MI – Guardian Alarm, Michigan’s largest privately-held security company, has announced a business partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR).

Guardian Alarm is sponsoring the team at multiple INDYCAR and NASCAR races and will launch the partnership on June 1 at the Detroit Grand Prix at Belle Isle in Detroit.
“By supporting the team, we’re supporting our customers that are passionate about the sport of racing, particularly in Michigan, Ohio, and the surrounding areas.,” said Tom Erhardt, President and COO of Guardian Alarm. “We look forward to sharing in the success of our drivers Kurt Busch and Scott Dixon who will be racing this season with Guardian on their car. By supporting these drivers, we’re supporting their families and their fans, our valued customers.”
