Marcus Armstrong will stay with Meyer Shank Racing and drive the No. 66 Honda in the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, team officials announced Aug. 18.
Armstrong has quickly become a consistent and competitive force in his first season with MSR, delivering strong performances throughout the 2025 campaign. Armstrong, 25, from New Zealand, has recorded 10 top-ten finishes this season, highlighted by a third-place finish at Iowa Speedway — the second podium result of his INDYCAR SERIES career.
He also is ninth in the series standings with two races remaining, aiming for his first top-10 season finish in the No. 66 SiriusXM Honda.
“I’m very pleased and grateful to be back with Meyer Shank Racing and my crew for 2026,” Armstrong said. “The professionalism and attention to detail is a benchmark throughout the field, and we have certainly improved with time together, which has been great. We’ll look to build on our momentum and work hard to climb the points standings.”
Armstrong has also impressed in qualifying, matching his career-best starting position of third (Toronto) and qualifying fourth at the season opener in St. Petersburg.
“We’re thrilled to have Marcus back for 2026,” said Mike Shank, co-owner of Meyer Shank Racing. “He’s really grown a lot this season, and we’re seeing that in his results as the season has gone on. His performance this year has shown that he has all the tools to fight at the front. We’re excited to continue building on this progress together.”
