Overview
- Multiple motorsport outlets this week reported that Yuki Tsunoda is being considered for Meyer Shank Racing’s No. 66 entry for the 2027 IndyCar season.
- The No. 66 vacancy stems from Marcus Armstrong moving to MSR’s No. 60 after Felix Rosenqvist signed with McLaren, creating the opening for 2027.
- MSR co‑owner Mike Shank has publicly said the team is vetting many candidates and has not made a decision, describing discussions as exploratory.
- Tsunoda is currently Red Bull’s test and reserve driver and has prior experience in Honda‑powered IndyCar machinery after a 2024 Chip Ganassi test in Las Vegas.
- If a deal were struck it would follow a growing pattern of Formula 1 drivers switching to IndyCar and could hinge on Honda support and any remaining F1 options Tsunoda still holds.
