Pataskala, Ohio – Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) is gearing up for the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season with a renewed commitment to music-themed liveries and a new sponsorship deal with real estate leader REMAX. The team unveiled plans for a special livery on Felix Rosenqvist’s No. 60 Honda, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, ahead of the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 1st.
The collaboration with SiriusXM continues a tradition for MSR, which has previously featured liveries honoring artists like Metallica and The Grateful Dead. This year, Rosenqvist’s car will sport a striking Tom Petty Radio (SiriusXM channel 31) design, showcasing the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s extensive catalog, including exclusive tracks from his personal archives and selections from his celebrated “Buried Treasure” radio demonstrate, as confirmed by Meyer Shank Racing.
Beyond the eye-catching paint scheme, the Tom Petty Radio livery will extend beyond St. Petersburg, appearing again at the Decent Ranchers 250 at Phoenix Raceway on March 7th. MSR co-owner Mike Shank expressed his enthusiasm for the ongoing partnership with SiriusXM, stating, “Every year we find new and creative ways to showcase what SiriusXM has to offer, and it’s something the fans genuinely look forward to.”
Alongside the SiriusXM collaboration, MSR welcomes REMAX as a new primary sponsor. The REMAX branding will be prominently displayed on both of MSR’s full-time INDYCAR entries – the No. 60 Honda piloted by Rosenqvist and the No. 66 Honda driven by Marcus Armstrong. REMAX will too have a presence on Helio Castroneves’ No. 06 Honda during the Indianapolis 500 in May, according to News Directory 3.
REMAX Expands Presence with Additional Race Sponsorships
Armstrong’s No. 66 Honda will feature a dedicated REMAX livery at two additional events: the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 17-19 and the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix on July 18-19. This expanded sponsorship demonstrates REMAX’s growing investment in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and its commitment to reaching a wider audience through the sport, as reported by IndyCar.com.
The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg is scheduled to begin at noon on Sunday, March 1st, with coverage available on FOX, FOX One, FOX Deportes, the FOX Sports app, and the INDYCAR Radio Network. Fans can also tune into SiriusXM channel 218 for live IndyCar Radio coverage throughout the race weekend.
MSR and SiriusXM have a history of dynamic collaborations, previously showcasing liveries for Metallica and The Grateful Dead. This continued partnership highlights the growing intersection of music and motorsports, offering fans a unique and engaging experience. The team’s commitment to visually striking designs, combined with the broad reach of SiriusXM’s entertainment channels, aims to attract a diverse audience to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
As the 2026 INDYCAR season kicks off, the combination of established partnerships and new sponsorships positions Meyer Shank Racing for a competitive year. The team’s focus on innovative marketing strategies, like the Tom Petty Radio livery, and strong sponsor relationships will be key factors as they navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead. The next event on the calendar, the Good Ranchers 250 at Phoenix Raceway, will provide another opportunity to showcase the Tom Petty Radio design and build momentum for the season.
