Pataskala, Ohio (11\u00a0June 2025) \u2013 After seven races of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) fans don\u2019t need to look far to find their favorite drivers as both pilots are in the top 10 of the championship standings \u2013 the first time MSR has had both cars in the top 10 this early into the season since expanding to a full-time two-car team in 2022.
\nMSR has earned nine top-10 finishes through the year\u2019s first seven races, equaling the team\u2019s combined total from the last two seasons. The success has kept the squad in the title hunt but in order to keep moving up, the Ohio-based unit must master the tricky World Wide Technology Raceway oval in Sunday\u2019s night\u2019s Bommarito Automotive Group 500. (8:00pm ET, FOX, SiriusXM ch. 218)
\nFelix Rosenqvist<\/strong>\u00a0(No. 60 SiriusXM Honda) is tied for fifth in the series standings heading to the 1.25-mile oval, building his total on the strength on five top-10 finishes. The early-season run gave Rosenqvist, who is in his second year with MSR, a chance to stay in the top 10 despite a 21st<\/sup>-place run last weekend in Detroit when his day ended due to a crash not of his own making.
\nMarcus Armstrong\u00a0<\/strong>(No. 66 Spectrum Honda) used a sixth-place Detroit run to vault into the top 10, climbing five positions in the standings after posting his best result of the season. The New Zealand-born driver not only has three top-10 results in the last six races but has also earned bonus points by leading laps in four separate events.
\nThe oval formerly known as Gateway challenges teams with two drastically different corners, which incorporate characteristics borrowed from tracks in Loudon and Phoenix, creating an egg-shaped layout that invokes memories of former series track Twin Ring Motegi in Japan.
\nMSR earned its first front-row start of nine previous WWTR trips last year when David Malukas gridded second and led 11 laps. The team also carded its best finish in those nine trips last year when Rosenqvist came from 11th<\/sup>\u00a0on the starting grid to place sixth.
\nThe event weekend covers just two days on the oval, beginning Saturday with a pair of practice sessions that bookend a 3:00pm ET qualifying session (FS1). Sunday\u2019s 260-lap Bommarito Automotive Group 500 gets underway at 8:00pm ET on Sunday night and can be seen live on FOX. SiriusXM will also carry live INDYCAR Radio coverage of all sessions on XM Ch. 218.
\nMeyer Shank Racing Driver Quotes:<\/strong>
\nFelix Rosenqvist:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cGoing to WWTR will be super fun, the first short oval of the year is always quite chaotic and wild in a good way. Ive always loved the track with the differences between T1 and T3. I\u2019m feeling good after a tough weekend in Detroit, but the 60 crew and I are ready to bounce back and have a great weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marcus Armstrong:<\/strong>\u00a0“WWTR is a really fun, short oval. I really enjoyed that race last year and I think we finished seventh or eighth. I thought we had a really strong car there last year, which made a world of difference om a circuit like that. I’m looking forward to a very fun weekend getting back into short oval-mode; it’s going to be a fun race under the lights.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
