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.

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.

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.

Helio Castroneves is back and on arriving duties for his fifth season with the team in the No. 06 Cleveland-Cliffs Honda as he begins his Drive for Five journey to  become the first driver to win five Indianapolis 500s.

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 hours before rain returned to the area, concluding practice prematurely.

“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’t 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.”

Marcus Armstrong – No. 66 Spectrum Honda

Top Speed: 224.212 mph

“Good first day here at Indy. I think the car is fast fundamentally. I wasn’t massively happy with the balance, at least initially.  I think where we ended the test was a bit more comfy. But it’s day 1 of a long month.”

“It was a good start, and we decided to try something different and then fix it up with a different set-up – unfortunately it took a little longer than we had hoped. The boys are doing a great job. Everyone is doing a great job. When we come back, we expect the weather to play a factor as well however, it was a good start.”
