Phoenix Ariz. (March 5, 2026) - Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) is heading to the second of three consecutive races to kick off the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. The Good Ranchers 25 at Phoenix Raceway will be the first time that MSR competes on the one-mile tri-oval with the series last competing at the Avondale track in 2018. 

Although MSR has yet to compete at Phoenix Raceway as a team, MSR driver Felix Rosenqvist, driver of the No. 60 SiriusXM Honda does - having competed at the track in 2016 during his time in Indy NXT (then Indy Lights).

Meyer Shank Racing Driver Quotes:

Marcus Armstrong: “It’s good that we had a test at Phoenix a few weeks ago. It’s been a few years since INDYCAR has raced there. I’m excited to have an oval early in the season and prior to the Indy 500.It’s also pretty cool to be sharing the weekend with NASCAR.  We had a fast car at the test, so we’ll be looking to make some improvements through Friday so that we can put ourselves in a good position to challenge for the win on Saturday.”

Felix Rosenqvist: "I'm excited to head out to Phoenix and get the weekend started. We had a pretty good test a few weeks ago and it's awesome that we get an oval in this early in the season. I actually raced at Phoenix Raceway back in 2016 so it's a track I'm familiar with. Hoping to get a solid result for the team this weekend."
