MSR has already set a team record with 12 top-10 finishes, placing 10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0or better in eight of the year\u2019s nine races. The team\u2019s drivers have also led laps in six of the year\u2019s events \u2013 also a MSR record.<br \/>\nAfter nine races Rosenqvist is tied for fourth in the standings while Armstrong has used three consecutive top-10 finishes to climb into 11<sup>th<\/sup>. His recent run has the young driver just one point out of a tie for ninth and seven markers out of seventh place.<br \/>\nThis weekend\u2019s 90-lap event around the 13-turn layout in Lexington, Ohio will be a stern test for MSR, as the home cooking has not always been palatable in its previous 11 starts. The team has four top-10 finishes in its 11 trips but none in the last two seasons. Last year saw MSR earn its best-ever Mid-Ohio start of third on qualifying day, but the lofty starting spot yielded just a 12<sup>th<\/sup>-place finish.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"CToWUd a6T alignright\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/meips\/ADKq_Nbj1QEn5XyqcSSXP5usqdyn-6_jZKscCxP4tkHzISRvaDFxW-4_bXU7twhGLJeCi9TIKV_47MQ3OHN5ilkDw6Hth9vtBG5rEyy1pmUej7UwUfzefxsFP8IYIi8myZO7Cytak9OLdQ1nu-ED1uCU9n38t7JOLlozh1WE2EmJ7EA=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/a33ba08d163385b4a77fabf6c\/_compresseds\/08751703-da25-3b6e-902a-2b80b6436b1f.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-bit=\"iit\" \/>Rosenqvist&#8217;s relationship with Mid-Ohio is a joyous one with the Ohio-based circuit hosting the Swede&#8217;s first-ever laps in an Indy car back in 2016.

It&#8217;s also our\u00a0team&#8217;s home track and the place of my first podium. We have the Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne and Ozzy&#8217;s Boneyard wagon going this weekend as well, so there&#8217;s a lot to look forward to.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Marcus Armstrong:\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;Mid-Ohio is one of my favorite circuits on the calendar. It&#8217;s a very tight and technical circuit and also very grippy since the repave. It&#8217;s an enjoyable track to do qualifying laps on and then obviously the race is fairly high paced as well. Very much looking forward to this weekend and building our momentum.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pataskala, Ohio (2 July 2025) \u2013 If it were in want of a theme song for this weekend\u2019s NTT INDYCAR SERIES race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8368,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-meyer-shank-racing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8367"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8369,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8367\/revisions\/8369"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sundaymanagement.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
