The March 17th announcement acted more as a formality.

Castroneves was linked back to the ride for quite some time when sponsor Cleveland-Cliffs was expected on the third Meyer Shank entry once again.

After a tenth in the 109th running, he climbs back aboard their No. 06 Honda for the sixth straight year.

They’ll look for a repeat of their 2021 INDY 500 success together.

The Brazilian turns 51-years-old before the event but seems as lively as ever in his announcement below.

The first chance for his bid at a 26th Indianapolis 500 start begins May 12th at the NTT INDYCAR Series’ opening practice session at the speedway.
