Marcus Armstrong’s Acura return has given Meyer Shank Racing a sharper visual marker for a Mid-Ohio weekend already crowded with IndyCar subplots.
INDYCAR confirmed its latest “Special (De)Livery” list for The Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio, with Armstrong back in the Acura scheme first used at Long Beach and then at the Indianapolis 500 in the No. 66 Honda. The livery matters because Mid-Ohio is not just another road-course stop for Meyer Shank; it is a home-state showcase for the Ohio-based operation.
Why Armstrong’s Acura Look Matters
The Acura branding gives Armstrong a cleaner identity on a weekend dominated by bigger transfer-market noise around Scott Dixon and Chip Ganassi Racing. Armstrong enters the round with a 2026 profile built on consistency rather than headline results, with INDYCAR listing him 11th in the standings on 203 points, with two top-five finishes and five top-10s from 10 starts.
That makes Mid-Ohio a useful reset point. Armstrong’s No. 66 Honda sits alongside several one-off or returning liveries, including Graham Rahal’s Ariel Corporation Honda, Felix Rosenqvist’s Ozzy Osbourne-themed SiriusXM car, Scott McLaughlin’s Good Ranchers Penske Chevrolet and Alexander Rossi’s stars-and-stripes ECR package.
The competitive question is whether the styling can be matched by pace. Practice opens Friday before qualifying on Saturday, with the race scheduled for Sunday at 12:30pm ET.
