Meyer Shank Racing discusses 2027 IndyCar seat with Yuki Tsunoda
Summary

Meyer Shank Racing is in talks with Yuki Tsunoda about filling a seat for the 2027 IndyCar season. Tsunoda, a former Formula One driver, is currently a reserve driver for Red Bull and has experience testing Indy cars. The team recently re-signed Marcus Armstrong and needs to address the vacancy left by Felix Rosenqvist's departure. MSR co-owner Mike Shank confirmed they are exploring options with various drivers but did not confirm Tsunoda's involvement. AJ Foyt Racing rookie Caio Collet's prospects have diminished after poor finishes in recent races, which complicates the team's search for a new driver.
