Overview

  • Meyer Shank Racing confirmed Wednesday that Rosenqvist will not return for 2027 after he told the team he has accepted an offer from an IndyCar rival.
  • No new team has been officially announced but media reports have linked Rosenqvist to Andretti Global and Arrow McLaren as likely destinations.
  • Rosenqvist’s profile surged after he won the Indianapolis 500 on May 24 in the race’s closest finish, a result that multiple outlets say generated significant offers.
  • MSR co‑owner Mike Shank said the team remains fully committed to the remaining eight races of 2026 and is actively evaluating candidates to fill the No. 60 seat.
  • The early public confirmation of Rosenqvist’s move could trigger wider driver reshuffling across the IndyCar paddock and will affect MSR’s championship plans while Rosenqvist sits sixth in the standings.
