Six-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Scott Dixon made his Meyer Shank Racing debut in the 2025 Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona Speedway.
Speaking following the race, the Iceman said:
“It was a fun race, there were definitely some difficult parts throughout, not mistake free which is never great. But Acura, Honda and MSR did everything strategy-wise that we could – but we just had a bit too much tire degradation and that definitely made it a tough race, especially when we had to double stint [the tires] early. Tom did a great job at the end. I think that was the best result that we could have had, maybe if we had a little longer we would have had a better shot.
Dixon’s teammate at Chip Ganassi Racing suffered a suspension issue which set the No.93 Acura ARX-06 and finished eighth. The defending NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion said:
Sad day for the #93 car having a mechanical failure so early on, especially with it not being our fault. Sometimes it’s a team mistake or driver mistake, so you know what you could have done differently, but this time it was just a failure and we couldn’t have done anything differently. It’s unfortunate, but happy at the same time we got running again. We got a lot of laps in for myself and for the team and that’s going to help us be a bit stronger in Sebring. And obviously I’m happy to see how Tom was fighting at the end and almost getting that win. It makes us hungry and I’m looking forward to the next couple of races.”
