PATASKALA, Ohio — With the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener just two months away, Acura Meyer Shank Racing has added Felix Rosenqvist, Scott Dixon and Alex Palou to its driver roster for endurance races.
Four-time Rolex 24 winner Dixon and MSR Indy car driver Rosenqvist will complete the roster for the No. 60 Acura MSR Acura ARX-06. The pair will join 2023 Rolex 24 winners, and full-season Acura MSR drivers Tom Blomqvist and Colin Braun.
Rosenqvist will take on Rolex 24 Hour duties in the Acura while Dixon will join Acura MSR for the full endurance schedule.
Palou will serve as endurance driver of the No. 93 Acura MSR Acura ARX-06 and pair up with full-season drivers Renger van der Zande and Nick Yelloly.
The lineup delivers both experience and pace, with the current Acura MSR lineup of drivers having a combined 11 Rolex 24 Hour At Daytona victories, 11 IMSA GTP class wins and 17 IMSA GTP podium finishes since 2023.
Dixon has been competing in sports car endurance competition for 25 years and rounded out the 2024 season and his 50th sportscar race with an overall win last month at the Motul Petit Le Mans, co-driving with Acura MSR’s van der Zande.
A familiar face to the MSR family, Rosenqvist will join Acura MSR at Daytona, marking his fourth entry into the historic twice-round-the-clock event as he targets adding a first Rolex 24 victory to his racing resume.
Palou has had a whirlwind few months after clinching his second straight INDYCAR championship, and third title in the last four years, and will look to kick off the 2025 racing season with that same momentum as he joins the No. 93 Acura MSR squad.
“It’s really great to see how our IMSA lineup has come together and I think we have some really talented drivers with us this year,” said team owner Mike Shank. “Of course it just made sense for Felix to join us at the 24. He’s really proved himself on the IndyCar side of things and I think he can be a big asset to us in IMSA. It’s a no-brainer that Scott (Dixon) knows what he’s doing in the IMSA endurance events and it’s really cool to finally have him come onboard after all these years. Alex (Palou) is another one who knows what it takes in the GTP category and of course he’s coming off of a big high in IndyCar. I’m excited to see where we shake out in the test this weekend; I think we’re all ready to get going.”
