The deal, effective from 2027, will see Armstrong transition to the team's No. 60 Honda, a seat being vacated by Felix Rosenqvist. Armstrong, who joined MSR in 2025, has quickly established himself as a top talent, securing a podium finish at Iowa in his first season and consistently delivering strong performances, including a fifth-place finish at the 2026 Indianapolis 500 and a near-victory at Road America. Team co-owner Mike Shank praised Armstrong's work ethic and potential, highlighting his consistent speed and determination. This extension solidifies Armstrong's future with MSR, ending speculation about him replacing Scott Dixon, and underscores the team's confidence in building a championship contender around him. MSR aims to finish the current season strong while preparing for 2027.
