Blomqvist, a rookie in the series, has struggled this season with a best finish of 15th in five races so far. After a disappointing Indianapolis 500 incident, he has been sidelined for the next two rounds in Detroit and Road America. The team will have veteran driver Castroneves take over to aim for better results. Despite the setback, Blomqvist expressed his dedication to MSR and is looking forward to contributing in the future. MSR has not announced specific plans for the #66 entry after Road America, indicating that Blomqvist remains part of the team. The decision to sideline Blomqvist was a difficult one for MSR co-owner, Mike Shank, emphasizing that Blomqvist is still valued within the team.
