Felix Rosenqvist is set to replace Simon Pagnaud at Meyer Shank Racing for 2024 and beyond.

The Swede is paired with rookie Tom Blomqvist for the team’s two car assault in the NTT IndyCar Series championship. Helio Castroneves will compete only at the Indianapolis 500 as he chases his fifth 500 crown.

This marks the third team for the 2015 Macau Grand Prix winner having competed with Arrow McLaren since 2021 and with Chip Ganassi Racing in 2019 and 2020.

“I’m super excited to start the next chapter of my INDYCAR career together with MSR,” said Rosenqvist. “This will be a great opportunity for myself and MSR to elevate and get to the next level together. I’m also pretty excited to get to work with my old friend Tom (Blomqvist) again. I’m ready to start working together and getting the next season started.”

Pagenaud has been with post-concussion like symptoms since a violent crash during practice at Mid-Ohio. The 2019 Indy 500 champions future remains indeterminate at the moment. He posted the following statement on social media:

“I would like to wish MSR all the best and thank Mike Shank, Jim Meyer, and the whole team for the valuable experiences I have gathered through the last two years,” he said.

“I wish we could have achieved more together over the last two seasons and win races but we could not make it happen.

“For now my goal is to fully focus on myself and recuperating. It is a slow process and I continue to work with the doctors and do what it necessary to get my health back to 100%.”
