Felix Rosenqvist returns to action this weekend as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES revs up for round five of the season at the iconic Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.<\/strong>
\u00a0
A driver and fan favourite alike, the Southern California street race has been an integral part of the INDYCAR calendar for decades, marking one of the true highlights of the year.
\u00a0
Felix Rosenqvist has enjoyed strong form at Long Beach in recent times, powering to pole position in 2024 and running on course for a podium in the closing stages of last year\u2019s race before ultimately finishing fourth.
\u00a0
Upon returning to one of his favourite events, the Swedish Meyer Shank Racing driver is keen to turn his 2026 fortunes around following a difficult start to the current season.

\u201cI\u2019m really excited heading to Long Beach this weekend,\u201d\u00a0says Felix Rosenqvist<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s a track that has always suited me well, and it\u2019s one of our biggest races outside the Indy 500. The atmosphere is fantastic and the track is super rewarding when you get it right.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u201cI\u2019ve been working hard since Barber to get back on track and unlock the potential we know is there, so I hope Long Beach will be a clear step forward in that direction.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
In the latest installment of MSR\u2019s and SiriusXM\u2019s music collaborations, Rosenqvist\u2019s No. 60 Honda will be sporting a Green Day<\/strong>-themed livery this weekend on the California shoreline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
