Meyer Shank Racing announced on Monday that the team has extended Felix Rosenqvist’s already lengthy IndyCar contract well into the future.
Rosenqvist began driving for the team at the start of the 2024 season, moving over from a three year stint with Arrow McLaren to drive for MSR.
The Swede’s contract was originally announced as two seasons in length, which already gave him a home through the conclusion of 2025.
This week’s announcement extends the 32-year-old’s contract out even further, showing how much confidence the team has in his driving abilities after their first year together.
“Thrilled to commit my future to Meyer Shank Racing,” Rosenqvist posted on social media. “Let’s create some big moments, next year and beyond!”
Rosenqvist completed his sixth IndyCar season this past weekend, and had the best start to the season of his career with his new MSR team.
He started off the season strong with a second place qualifying effort in St. Pete, and followed that up with a pole on the streets of Long Beach.
He also earned two top five finishes in the first three races of the season, but then failed to earn another throughout the rest of the season despite qualifying near the front multiple other times.
Rosenqvist will now be staying with MSR for at least the next couple seasons, giving him a lengthy period of stability to build on.
The driver of the team’s second car has not yet been announced, but it is known that he will have a new team-mate as David Malukas is set to move to AJ Foyt Racing next year.
