Meyer Shank Racing expands Ault IMSA relationship to IndyCar

Meyer Shank Racing co-owner Jim Meyer and Todd Ault have expanded a relationship that started last season in IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship to include both MSR’s factory Acura GTP program and its two-car IndyCar Series effort in 2026.

Ault’s AI company askROI served as the primary sponsor of MSR’s No. 60 Acura ARX-06 IMSA GTP entry in 2025, and the arrangement continues this year with the No. 60 Acura, albeit with two new companies in BitcoinMAX and Only Bulls moved to the promotional forefront to complement askROI.

MSR will also incorporate Ault’s BitcoinMAX and Only Bulls on the No. 60 Honda IndyCar driven by Felix Rosenqvist, the No. 66 Honda driven by Marcus Armstrong, and the No. 06 Indianapolis 500 entry for four-time race winner Helio Castroneves.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with Todd Ault and hope to celebrate his companies in victory lane multiple times this year,” Shank said.

Moving into IndyCar with MSR gives Ault two engagements in the series, as his support of Dale Coyne Racing from 2025 is expected to continue this year and is subject to confirmation by the team in the coming days.

“Jim Meyer is a legend and Mike Shank is a racer who really wants to win,” Ault said. “Everybody says they want to win, but Mike really wants to win, which is why I wanted to do more with him and more with Jim with our new companies.

“As we launch both OnlyBulls and BitcoinMAX globally, this partnership is one of many we plan to announce over the coming months. It’s great to have well-known international driver athletes representing our brands. This partnership with MSR secures us a fan base from New Zealand to England and from Sweden to Brazil.”
