Pataskala, Ohio (19 August 2022)<\/strong> – Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) is excited to announce that Helio Castroneves will return to the team\u2019s IndyCar program for 2023 driving the No. 06 AutoNation \/ SiriusXM Honda. Castroneves and Simon Pagenaud – No. 60 AutoNation \/ SiriusXM Honda –\u00a0make up MSR\u2019s IndyCar stable for the 2023 NTT IndyCar Series season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Castroneves first joined MSR for a six\u00a0race campaign in the 2021 INDYCAR season. The first race of the season for MSR and Castroneves as a team – the 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500 – exceeded all expectations as\u00a0Castroneves raced to a record-tying fourth Indianapolis 500 victory – exactly 12 years after his previous 500 win in 2009.<\/p>\n

The win was also the first-ever IndyCar series victory for MSR with the Ohio-based team having made its series debut in 2017.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Indianapolis 500 was MSR\u2019s 38th NTT INDYCAR SERIES entry after the team ran a six race program in 2018 and ten races in 2020. The team went on to compete full-time in 2020 and expanded in 2021 to one full-time entry and the partial season campaign with Castroneves.<\/p>\n

To date, Castroneves has 31 victories and 50 IndyCar pole positions on his resume – putting him in IndyCar\u2019s top ten in history for most victories and pole positions. The 2023 IndyCar season will see Castroneves once again attempt to be the first driver in IndyCar history to claim a fifth Indianapolis 500 victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeeping Helio onboard wasn\u2019t really a question for us. We\u2019ve built a really strong relationship with him over these last two race\u00a0seasons. He brings so much to the table, on and off the track. He\u2019s been able to help us grow as a team and we’ve been able to learn from his years of experience. It\u2019s truly a mutually beneficial relationship.\u00a0 And of course he\u2019s a perfect face of the sport and has such an infectious personality, so to have him on our team is an honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
