Meyer Shank Racing’s March Continues as INDYCAR Heads to Toronto

PATASKALA, Ohio (16 July 2025) – Although there are just five races remaining in the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES campaign, Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) is far from ready for the offseason, as the team continues its march toward the top of the series standings.

In the middle of a grueling stretch that features five races in four weeks, the MSR squad continues to get stronger as the year goes on, rewriting its internal record books each week. With 12 of the year’s 17 races in the bank, MSR has both of its drivers in the top seven in the championship standings and continues to set new standards for team success.

Felix Rosenqvist (No. 60 SiriusXM Honda) and Marcus Armstrong (No. 66 SiriusXM Honda) have each earned eight top-10 finishes this season, with Armstrong fashioning a career-best six-race run of top tens. The streak was highlighted last weekend when he earned his first podium of 2025 and second INDYCAR career podium, placing third in the second of two races at Iowa Speedway.

MSR has set new team marks for top tens in a season (17), number of races where laps were led (8), earned multiple podium finishes in the same season for the first time ever, and has finished in the top 10 in an impressive 68 percent of its starts this year.

The arduous summer stretch continues this weekend, as the series heads north of the border for Sunday’s Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto, which takes place over 90 laps of the 11-turn, 1.786-mile street course that winds around Exhibition Place.

MSR has earned a pair of top-10 finishes in six previous Toronto starts, capped by a sixth-place run from David Malukas a year ago. Rosenqvist set the team’s high-water qualifying mark last year by starting third, but was felled by a mechanical issue which resulted in his lone finish outside the top 10 in his four Toronto events. Armstrong also has reason for optimism, coming off a fifth-place finish a year ago, that saw him climb from P13 on the starting grid.

Armstrong will sport a special SiriusXM Canada livery, with the flag-inspired design featuring a maple leaf and red and white colors.

Things start with a 3 p.m. ET practice on Friday, leading into a 2:30 p.m. Saturday qualifying session that can be seen on FS1. Sunday’s race starts at Noon and will be live on FOX as well as on Sirius XM Channel 218.

Meyer Shank Racing Driver Quotes:

Marcus Armstrong: “Loved the circuit from the first laps I drove around there in 2023. It’s a track that I enjoy going to and a city that I really love, and even go to in the off-season. Cool place and cool fans. Had some decent results there the last two years, and we’re on a bit of a roll right now, so could be a good one.”

Felix Rosenqvist: “We’ve made it to stop three of four in our quadruple weekend of racing. A bit of a tough weekend at Iowa, so it feels nice to be right back at it, especially at one of the best cities in the world. Looking forward to seeing our friends at SiriusXM Canada as well.”
