The 2027 driver lineup for Meyer Shank Racing has been finalized, announcing on Friday that Mick Schumacher will pilot the No. 66 Honda alongside Marcus Armstrong.
“I’m super excited to be working with everyone at Meyer Shank Racing and really excited to be joining such an ambitious team.” Schumacher said in the press release. “It’s going to be a special journey to start working with MSR, I am looking forward to what more I can learn from the team. They’ve had some really great success, and of course, going to an Indy 500-winning team is awesome.”
The announcement comes before the final round of the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series season at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. In his first year with Rahal Letterman Racing, Schumacher has quickly adapted to the North American open wheel circuit.
The son of legendary Formula One driver Michael Schumacher, has shown improvement in every oval race entered, from demonstrating great qualifying pace at tracks such as Phoenix and Milwaukee (starting 4th), winning Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year honors with an 18th place finish, and securing a season best eighth place finish at Nashville Superspeedway.
Schumacher’s rise quickly caught the attention of owner Mike Shank. “It is not an easy series to come into and the competition is incredibly tight, but when you look at what he’s accomplished and the progress he’s made throughout the year, we see a lot of potential in him,” Shank said. “He’s also shown tremendous pace on the oval’s, which is a huge hurdle for any driver coming in to IndyCar without that experience. He’s adapted quickly, and we’re excited to see what he can do with another year of experience and with our group around him.”
