The meet and greet will be located at the Meyer Shank Racing garage in the INDYCAR paddock. Please refer to the schedule above for your time. During this experience, guests will hear from our drivers, Felix Rosenqvist and/or Marcus Armstrong. Team members will also share insights about the team, what it takes to compete at the highest level of INDYCAR racing, and behind-the-scenes details from race weekend. There will be an opportunity for pictures at the end. We kindly ask that you arrive on time and exit the area immediately following the conclusion of their meet & greet, as we have several back-to-back meet & greets scheduled.
Guests are strongly encouraged to arrive early each day to allow ample time for extensive security screening and gate entry. Early arrival helps you avoid peak traffic periods and ensures you don’t miss any on-track action or entertainment.
