Rosenqvist makes two-stop strategy work to finish sixth while Armstrong finishes a close seventh<\/em><\/p>\n

Lexington, Ohio (6 July 2025) \u2013 After a number of seasons of tough outings for Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, the squad \u2013 which is based less than 60 miles away from the Lexington track \u2013 earned its best-ever result at its home circuit on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Using diverse pit strategies and a big fuel-saving effort from\u00a0Felix Rosenqvist\u00a0<\/strong>(No. 60 SiriusXM Honda) on his final stint, MSR came away with a pair of top-seven finishes in Sunday\u2019s Honda 200, the 10th<\/sup>\u00a0race of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES campaign.<\/p>\n

Rosenqvist joined race winner Scott Dixon as the only two drivers in the top eight to make just two fuel stops in completing 90 laps around the 2.258-mile Mid-Ohio layout to earn a sixth-place finish, but a late threat from teammate\u00a0Marcus Armstrong\u00a0<\/strong>(No. 66 Spectrum Honda) tested Rosenqvist\u2019s fuel tank over the final orbits.<\/p>\n

The two-stop strategy allowed the Swedish driver to steadily climb the standings after starting 15th<\/sup>. He used a long first stint and a quick pit stop to move into eighth after the first round of stops and then settled into the back end of the top 10 in stretching his second fuel load as well.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the driver of the blue-and-white No. 66 Honda ran in the top five most of the day but the quicker laps forced him to pit slightly earlier than his teammate, setting the stage for the inter-squad battle over the last laps.<\/p>\n

Armstrong\u2019s stop with six laps to go saw him return to the track directly behind Rosenqvist, who was intent on keeping his new teammate in his rearview mirrors. Armstrong threatened throughout the final trips around the Lexington circuit, but Rosenqvist answered the bell, running his best lap of the race on his final lap to secure sixth and leaving Armstrong to place seventh.<\/p>\n

The result marked the fourth time this season that MSR has earned two top-10 results in the same race and extended the team\u2019s season total of top tens to a team-record 14. Armstrong\u2019s fourth consecutive top-10 finish vaulted him into eighth in the series provisional point standings, while Rosenqvist is just outside the top five after 10 of the year\u2019s 17 races.<\/p>\n

MSR won\u2019t have much time to celebrate Sunday\u2019s result as the series heads to Newton, Iowa for a doubleheader race weekend on the lightning-fast 0.875-mile Iowa Speedway oval.<\/p>\n

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

Felix Rosenqvist: “<\/strong>The car was really good on the blacks. We weren’t really great on the reds, but we got through that stint, lost a little bit. Otherwise we executed a two stopper on a day where I say it was pretty hard to do. It’s a big save. Luckily, the guys on the pit wall put us in a great gap and we managed to have a lot of clean air, and I think that was kinda key. I’ll take that definitely. We had a really poor qualifying yesterday and I think top 10 was the goal today, so we definitely made that work.”<\/p>\n

Marcus Armstrong: “<\/strong>Another top 10 and we finished\u00a0P7 in the end. It was a long race and there were a few different strategies going on. Our strategy was looking pretty good\u00a0and we were running within the top five for most of the race. I have to say that Meyer Shank Racing did a great job in pit lane and we had some fast pit stops. We took some decent points today which will be good for us in the championship, so nothing to complain about with the result today.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
