Indianapolis, Ind. (10 August 2021)<\/strong> – After a wild weekend in the \u2018Music City\u2019, Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) will now turn its focus to the Big Machine Spiked Coolers Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday (12:30pm ET, NBCSN). The IMS INDYCAR event will be a part of a big weekend at the Brickyard with the series sharing time with NASCAR\u2019s Xfinity and Cup Series.<\/p>\n

The return to IMS will be a special one for MSR and Helio Castroneves who will be making their first outing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway since their big Indianapolis 500 win in May. The now four-time Indianapolis 500 winner will be making his third race start with MSR this season as he hopes to add another victory at IMS to his already impressive resume.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian driver will be back behind the wheel of the No. 06 AutoNation \/ SiriusXM Honda for Saturday\u2019s 85-lap event. Castroneves has made eight race starts on the IMS road course with a best finish of second in 2016. Castroneves also rounded out the podium in the 2014 edition of the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very excited to go back to IMS,\u201d said Castroneves. \u201cIMS is such a special place, and it now holds such an importance to me and Meyer Shank Racing after winning the Indy 500. It\u2019s a new weekend and our focus hasn\u2019t changed. I think we had some good pace in Nashville and now we can start getting into a groove of racing again. Hopefully Indy can bring us some more luck on Saturday and we can come home with another win!\u201d<\/p>\n

Meyer Shank Racing will also have Jack Harvey in the No. 60 AutoNation \/ SiriusXM Honda. For Harvey, Indianapolis Motor Speedway has proved to be a site of success with the MSR driver taking home his first-ever INDYCAR podium in 2019 at the 2.439-mile road course.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndy is a track that we\u2019ve always done well at and it\u2019s guaranteed to be a good race,\u201d said Harvey. \u201cWe can take confidence into the weekend that we do know what a fast car looks like there and how it needs to be driven. So, we\u2019re optimistic heading into the weekend and I don\u2019t see any reason why we can\u2019t go and fight for a win.\u201d<\/p>\n

This weekend will be a two-day show at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with practice and qualifying staged on Friday. The Big Machine Spiked Coolers Grand Prix will be broadcast live on NBCSN starting at 12:30pm ET. SiriusXM Ch. 205 will also provide live IndyCar radio coverage throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n
