Meyer Shank Racing has decided to replace Tom Blomqvist with Helio Castroneves for at least the next two NTT IndyCar Series races due to Blomqvist’s disappointing rookie campaign. This decision was described by MSR co-owner Mike Shank as one of the hardest they have had to make, with Blomqvist still being a part of the team for the rest of the season. Blomqvist’s recent race results led to this change, with Castroneves stepping in for Detroit and Road America events. Blomqvist expressed his love for being part of the MSR family and remains hopeful for future successes with the team. There is uncertainty regarding Blomqvist’s return to the seat after Castroneves, with potential options for the team including Callum Ilott, Conor Daly, and David Malukas. David Malukas, once fully recovered from his injury, could bring valuable skills to Meyer Shank Racing, especially on ovals as showcased in his past performances.
