Mike Shank’s most successful days as an IndyCar entrant came around Jack Harvey within a single-car operation, but they’ve been searching for better results in the expanded program since Harvey left for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. With a second full-time car in 2022, featuring Indy 500-winning drivers Helio Castroneves and Simon Pagenaud, Meyer Shank Racing aimed for big results but only reached 15th in the standings despite their efforts. The offseason brought a new beginning with Felix Rosenqvist joining the team alongside IMSA prototype champion Tom Blomqvist, showing immediate potential and holding 10th in the championship heading into the upcoming race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The team’s decision to replace Blomqvist with David Malukas reflects the pressure to deliver results for sponsors, as they look towards the future with plans to relaunch the IMSA GTP effort in 2025. Shank has been impressed with Malukas’ performance and believes his oval skills will be crucial in the remaining races of the season, beginning with the challenge at Laguna Seca’s new pavement.”
