Indianapolis, Ind. (13 May 2025) – Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) began preparations for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on Tuesday. The Ohio-based team settled into Indianapolis Motor Speedway with its stable of three Indianapolis 500 entries.<\/p>\n

MSR debuted two new Indianapolis 500 liveries this week, one of which was Felix’s Rosenqvist No. 60 SiriusXM Honda which featured a brand-new orange and black scheme in collaboration with SiriusXM’s Turbo (channel 41) and rock band CREED.<\/p>\n

Marcus Armstrong also has a new look on his No. 66 Honda for the Month of May with the team announcing on Tuesday Spectrum as the primary partner for the 66 entry.<\/p>\n

Helio Castroneves is back and on arriving duties\u00a0for his fifth season with the team in the No. 06 Cleveland-Cliffs Honda\u00a0as he begins his Drive for Five journey to \u00a0become the first driver to win five Indianapolis 500s.<\/p>\n

Practice on Tuesday got to a slow start with rain in the morning forcing cars off track. At 2:30pm the sun came out and the skies cleared for official Indianapolis 500 practice. The session lasted nearly three\u00a0hours before rain returned to the area, concluding practice prematurely.<\/p>\n

\nNo Tow Speed:\u00a0<\/strong>217.478 mph
\nTotal Laps:\u00a0<\/strong>55
\n“We at least got some running here it was a little bit of a struggle against the weather. I thought we were ok. Honestly, there wasn\u2019t many cars running, so it’s kind of hard to get a read. We still have some things to tune on. But it’s also day 1.”<\/p>\n

Marcus Armstrong – No. 66 Spectrum Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top Speed:\u00a0<\/strong>224.212 mph
\nNo Tow Speed:\u00a0<\/strong>217.553 mph
\nTotal Laps:\u00a0<\/strong>59
\n“Good first day here at Indy. I think the car is fast fundamentally. I wasn\u2019t massively happy with the balance, at least\u00a0initially.\u00a0\u00a0I think where we ended the test was a bit more comfy. But it’s day 1 of a long month.”<\/p>\n

Helio Castroneves – No. 06 Cleveland-Cliffs Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n

Top Speed:\u00a0<\/strong>224.523 mph
\nNo Tow Speed:\u00a0<\/strong>218.048 mph
\nTotal Laps:\u00a0<\/strong>25
\n“It was a good start, and we decided to try something different and then fix it up with a different set-up \u2013 unfortunately it took a little longer than we had hoped. The boys are doing a great job. Everyone is doing a great job. When\u00a0we come back, we expect the weather to play a factor as well however, it was a good start.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
