Madison, IL (15 June 2025) \u2013 Continuing its most consistent and productive season since joining the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) matched a team record with its 10th<\/sup>\u00a0top-10 finish of the season, a milestone achieved by the Ohio-based team despite not yet reaching the halfway point of the current INDYCAR campaign.<\/p>\n

MSR kept moving forward in Sunday\u2019s night\u2019s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 as\u00a0Marcus Armstrong\u00a0<\/strong>(No. 66 Spectrum Honda) started sixth and never strayed much further from that spot, posting a solid ninth-place result. The New Zealand-born driver solidified his spot in the top 10 in the provisional championship points after posting his fourth top-10 result of the year, using a strong charge on the\u00a0Lap 208 restart to cement his finishing position on the 1.25-mile World Wide Technology Raceway oval.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>After starting seventh,\u00a0Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>\u00a0(No. 60 SiriusXM Honda) was running in the top 10 through his first first fuel stint. Unfortunately, the Swede\u2019s day took a downturn after\u00a0his first stop as he was penalized for an unsafe release \u2013 a violation that would end up costing Rosenqvist a stop-and-go penalty that left him a lap down to the leaders.<\/p>\n

Undaunted, Rosenqvist fought hard and used a late-race caution to get his lap back, then made a second late stop during that same caution to top off his fuel load in the hopes of eliminating a pit stop. The move nearly paid off as Rosenqvist climbed to front of the grid as the leaders. But the fuel load dried out a little earlier than hoped, forcing the Swedish driver to pit with six laps to run and settle for a 16th<\/sup>-place finish.<\/p>\n

MSR\u2019s strong season continues as Armstrong\u2019s fourth top-10 result partners with five from Rosenqvist and one from Helio Castroneves to give the team its 10th<\/sup>\u00a0top 10 finish of the season. The total equals MSR\u2019s high-water mark set in 2022, its first year as a full-time, two-car INDYCAR team.<\/p>\n

MSR won\u2019t have a lot of time for reflection as the series heads to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for next weekend\u2019s XPEL Grand Prix of Road America which begins Friday June 20th. The starting grid will be determined by Saturday\u2019s 2:30pm ET qualifying session (FS1), setting the stage for Sunday\u2019s 55-lap race beginning at 1:30pm ET SiriusXM Radio will also carry live coverage of all sessions on IndyCar Radio, XM Ch. 218.<\/p>\n

Meyer Shank Racing Driver Quotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marcus Armstrong:\u00a0<\/strong>Hard fought P9. A lot of work, but kind of fun out there. We didn\u2019t get lucky on the last strategy call, but managed to pass a lot of cars at the end. Happy with the Top 10 for sure.<\/p>\n

Felix Rosenqvist:\u00a0<\/strong>Early on, I had a stop and go penalty for an unsafe release that we need to understand better. Kind of ruined our race. We were two laps down, got back to the lead lap, but we just ran out of time. It was a hard fought 16th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
