Dane Cameron and Olivier Pla closed out the weekend sixth with the No. 60 SiriusXM \/ AutoNation Acura ARX-05.<\/p>\n<p>Although having qualified third on Saturday, Cameron took the green flag from sixth after the team made an engine change on Saturday evening. Cameron had a strong first stint and picked off the cars ahead until he reached third before lap 20.<\/p>\n<p>The first round of pit stops commenced on Lap 33\u00a0and it quickly became apparent that the No. 60 Acura was losing significant time on pit lane for what was thought to be a fuel rig issue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd a6T alignright\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/kpCTnJmNd8n5esaXKO7662acoUiMrMVX9dK_q85be1vI8808BrddDkibwgL2gRafgzhosoCyEg05com1AYU61PMkbPbsCOvPQ4GbFUlkb0JlGGFl0BZI97zhZU8cL8ej84o_cc1LYisnynk0ENwTydZoXxGGig=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/a33ba08d163385b4a77fabf6c\/images\/51ea9a9e-be88-d696-9acb-612c50cad20c.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Pla returned on track to close out the remaining two hours of the race. Despite all of Pla\u2019s efforts to move up the running order, the No. 60 didn\u2019t have the race pace to move up any higher than fifth. With a long final stint, Pla pushed to the finish but was forced to make a final stop for a splash of fuel just minutes before the checkered flag on the way to a sixth place result.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made more progress with the car and we were a lot more consistent through the weekend,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cThe car was the best it had been all weekend in the race. We still have work to do, so we will just look ahead to the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd a6T alignleft\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/FfCdLvgFkYPW0ncw8z3h9jGWmaQB8WefH-Lq4BoDfxhqBxa9WhDqRkUBTsy7bw9ITwjTMmoeA6a9hTYxwvF4ldTQf7k_dHuKKVkHTlaS_lVM4nDozHuNSoWpwpB6-Oxk8XDOwNmPTMe6nX8UbbH_xbqqOGi6mQ=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/a33ba08d163385b4a77fabf6c\/images\/7654b890-c0bc-49aa-82cd-a6d30f5330b1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>\u201cI think the car improved from where it was during both practice sessions earlier in the weekend, but we just couldn\u2019t place the car where we needed it to be in the race,\u201d said Pla. \u201cI know the team was working hard to figure out a good strategy to put us back in contention,\u00a0but we just ran out of time and then had to pit at the end there. We\u2019ll take what we learned from this weekend and take it to Belle Isle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next round of IMSA action will return on the Streets of Belle Isle where both MSR\u2019s IMSA\u00a0and INDYCAR programs will compete on the June 11-12\u00a0weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mansfield, Ohio (16 May 2021) &#8211; Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) closed out a big weekend of racing after first competing in the INDYCAR round at Indianapolis<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3247,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meyer-shank-racing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3246"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3246\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3248,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3246\/revisions\/3248"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
