Meyer Shank Racing has finalised Alex Palou, Felix Rosenqvist and Scott Dixon as their 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship Endurance Cup pilots.
MSR has completed their full lineup for next year, following their existing confirmation of full-season drivers.
Four-time 24 Hours of Daytona winner Dixon will assist Tom Blomqvist and Colin Braun in the Endurance Cup rounds.
MSR IndyCar driver Rosenqvist completes the #60 Acura ARX-06 GTP lineup solely for Daytona next January.
Meanwhile the #93 Acura will feature triple IndyCar champion and reigning back-to-back champion Alex Palou in the endurance races.
This includes Daytona alongside Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly.
“I’m super excited about the opportunity to join Acura MSR and HRC for the IMSA endurance races next year,” said Palou.
“It will be pretty cool to work with some of the drivers that I know very well and to see what we can do at the Rolex in January.
“I have to thank Mike [Shank] and HRC for this opportunity and I’m ready to get going in Daytona.”
Rosenqvist, who drove the 2024 edition with United Autosports, added: “It’s a dream come true for me to race at the Rolex and in the top category.
“It’s a very natural fit as I’m racing for the same team and manufacturer as my ‘daytime job,’ and I know all my teammates really well.
“It’s a big project and I’m doing my best to be as prepared as possible.
“I’m looking forward to getting going in January.”
Talent and experience on Meyer Shank’s return
Six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon concluded: “I’m really looking forward to running the Rolex this [upcoming] year.
“I have almost joined Meyer Shank Racing and Mike a couple times in the past, but it didn’t work out.
“I’m really excited to join Acura MSR and their partnership with HRC makes it easier, there are a lot of familiar faces and people that I have worked with over the years.
“That’s also true on the Meyer Shank side as well with a lot of people who I have worked with earlier in my career.
“A lot of familiar faces on the driver side too with Felix [Rosenqvist], Tom [Blomqvist], Colin [Braun] and obviously I was teammates last year with Renger, so I’m really looking forward to that side of it.
“Goal number one is just to win and hopefully we can do that out of the gate at Daytona.
“It’s a fun race and I love doing the endurance races.
“I’m just really excited to get going and from what I’ve seen so far it’s quite the outfit and excited with what Acura has done.”
Meyer Shank Racing are preparing for their IMSA return after missing the 2024 season.
They won the 2023 running of Petit Le Mans after controversially winning the season-opener.
Their driver line-up incorporates experience and talent with all drivers having competed in the most recent running of Daytona.
Dixon and Palou drove in Chip Ganassi Cadillac machinery as Blomqvist drove in Action Express Racing’s Cadillac.
With two Acuras at their disposal, Meyer Shank are set for their IMSA comeback at the Daytona season-opener.
