Honda Partners with Meyer Shank Racing for 2028 IndyCar

Meyer Shank Racing (MSR) has confirmed an upcoming collaboration with Honda, which will see the team operate Honda's chartered IndyCar entry for the 2028 through 2030 seasons. This strategic alignment follows Honda and Chevrolet's recent commitment to IndyCar as original equipment manufacturers. Their new agreement, effective in 2028, permits each manufacturer to enter one full-time chartered car into the series. This initiative coincides with IndyCar's introduction of a new car platform in 2028, marking the first significant update since 2012. The charter system, established in 2025, guarantees starting positions for 25 chartered entries, with top performers in the Leaders Circle Program receiving compensation. Honda sees this partnership with MSR as a continuation of its investment and development goals. The existing successful collaboration between Honda Racing Corporation USA and MSR in the IMSA Sportscar Championship provides a strong foundation for this future IndyCar venture. While specifics are still being finalized, both parties anticipate a model similar to their IMSA arrangement, which involves Honda Racing Corporation USA handling engineering and strategizing for MSR's No. 93 car in IMSA's GTP class. This multi-year deal is a key development for MSR as they look to solidify their presence in IndyCar.
