Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) has finalized its driver lineup for the 2027 IndyCar Series, announcing Friday that Mick Schumacher will pilot the team’s #66 Honda alongside returning driver Marcus Armstrong, who enters his third season with the team and shifting to the #60 entry.
The announcement comes with one race remaining - this weekend’s round at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca - in his rookie campaign with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing for Schumacher, who adapted rapidly to North American open-wheel racing. The German driver tackled the full calendar – including his first oval experiences – earning Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year honors after completing all 200 laps at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and finishing 18th. He also demonstrated sharp qualifying pace on ovals with fourth-place grid positions at both Phoenix Raceway and Milwaukee, eventually locking in a season-best eighth-place finish at Nashville Superspeedway.
