(PATASKALA, OH.) – Texas A&M University is stepping into the IndyCar spotlight with a full Aggie‑maroon livery for Felix Rosenqvist’s No. 60 Meyer Shank Racing Honda, debuting at the inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington. The university confirmed it will serve as a major sponsor for the event, marking one of the most visible activations of its expanding 2026 motorsports program.
The livery features:
- Deep Aggie maroon base, matching the university’s iconic color palette
- Texas A&M branding positioned for maximum visibility on broadcast, intentionally placed to align with IndyCar’s camera angles
- SiriusXM SEC Radio co‑branding, reflecting the school’s conference identity
- A custom Troy Lee Designs helmet, created specifically for the Arlington weekend to complete the look
This marks a full departure from Rosenqvist’s usual Tom Petty/SiriusXM‑themed scheme, giving the No. 60 car a uniquely collegiate identity for the Texas round
The Grand Prix of Arlington is a natural showcase for Texas A&M:
- The race takes place just a few hours north of the College Station campus
- It airs nationally on FOX, giving the university a massive broadcast platform
- It launches the third year of Texas A&M’s cross‑series motorsports initiative, spanning both IndyCar and NASCAR
The school views the event as a marquee moment in its 2026 promotional strategy, designed to put the Aggie brand in front of millions of viewers.
Felix Rosenqvist expressed genuine enthusiasm about carrying the Aggie colors:
“I think it’s really awesome that Texas A&M University has shown me so much support… to have them come back onboard and showcase a full livery for the Texas weekend, that’s really cool to see.”
He also noted the excitement of racing in front of a heavily pro‑Aggie crowd, expecting the maroon‑clad fans to energize the weekend.
For MSR, the Texas A&M partnership:
- Strengthens the team’s 2026 commercial lineup
- Adds a high‑visibility, nationally recognized brand to the No. 60 program
- Aligns with the team’s push for deeper regional engagement in key markets
The livery also ties into Texas A&M’s 150th anniversary celebration, which the team is helping highlight through the special edition design.
The Texas A&M livery isn’t just a paint scheme—it’s a statement!
It blends school pride, strategic branding, and motorsports culture into one of the most distinctive looks of the 2026 IndyCar season. With a national broadcast, a passionate local fanbase, and Rosenqvist’s momentum, the Aggie‑maroon No. 60 is poised to be one of the standout visuals of the Arlington weekend.
