Felix Rosenqvist applauds '3 legends' ft. Scott Dixon after career-best finish at Rolex 24 at Daytona

Felix Rosenqvist penned a heartfelt message for his Meyer Shank Racing teammates and crew after taking second place at the 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona. This podium was the Swedish driver's best finish at the IMSA Sportscar championship's iconic season-opening race event in four attempts.

MSR added Rosenqvist and 6-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon to their 2025 Daytona line-up in November 2024 to finalize the two vacant spots for the No. 60 Acura MSR ARX-06 alongside full-time drivers Tom Blomqvist and Colin Braun. On Sunday (Jan. 26), Blomqvist, who started the race for the team, also took the chequered flag for their second-place finish, only 1.335 seconds short of victory.

Their garage came alive after the superb finish. After receiving the trophy and celebrating on the podium, Felix Rosenqvist made an Instagram post to sincerely thank his team. In the caption, he wrote:

"P2 at the Rolex 24! Fantastic drives by these 3 legends and 10/10 execution behind the pitwall by @meyershankracing @hondaracing_us ! Such a cool moment to see @tom_blomqvist going on a mission with our Acura for the final laps! Good luck for the rest of the @imsa_racing season team, it was a pleasure to be part of this wild journey with you 👏🏻 "

This appearance at Daytona was Rosenqvist's debut in the GTP class. In his previous three attempts, he raced in the PC class (2016), P class (2018) and LMP2 class (2024).

Porsche-Penske Motorsport won the 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona with Felipe Nasr taking the chequered flag.
