IndyCar 2023 season review: Meyer Shank Racing
Meyer Shank Racing had a challenging 2023 season, especially considering their technical alliance with Andretti Autosport, as they struggled to perform as a two-car team. Simon Pagenaud’s crash at Mid-Ohio had a significant impact on the season, with only one top 10 and two top 15 finishes from Castroneves and Pagenaud in the first six rounds. Pagenaud’s performance regressed compared to his strong results in 2022, leading to speculation that there was a lack of synergy between him and the team. Linus Lundqvist, who substituted for Pagenaud, showed promise with impressive lap times in his three appearances. The team’s year was filled with difficulties, but there are expectations for improvement in 2024 with changes to the driver lineup, including the signing of Tom Blomqvist and Felix Rosenqvist, and a renewed focus solely on IndyCar.
