In honor of the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary, IndyCar’s Meyer-Shank Racing will have a special livery on Felix Rosenqvist’s No. 60 Honda for the next two races on the NTT IndyCar Series schedule.
It’s part of Meyer Shank Racing’s dynamic partnership with SiriusXM and it continues to strike a chord — this time with an iconic, tie-dye twist.
For this weekend’s NTT IndyCar Series race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and the August 10th IndyCar race at Portland International Raceway, the No. 60 SiriusXM Honda driven by Rosenqvist will sport a one-of-a-kind Grateful Dead tribute livery along with SiriusXM’s Grateful Dead Channel, honoring the band’s 60th anniversary.
The custom car design launches just ahead of Dead & Company’s highly anticipated sold-out concerts in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park August 1-3, celebrating 60 years of the Grateful Dead’s music.
The Grateful Dead Channel (channel 23) is one of SiriusXM’s longest-running artist-branded channels, and features music spanning the band’s career with unreleased concert recordings, original shows hosted by band members, and even rare archival interviews with Jerry Garcia.
The No. 60 Honda will debut its Grateful Dead livery at IndyCar’s Java House Grand Prix of Monterey on July 27. The car then heads north to San Francisco, where it will be on display at the official Dead & Company merch store at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium at the Grove Street Entrance on Wednesday, July 30th, from 10 AM to 2 PM, just ahead of the three headline concerts in Golden Gate Park.
The Java House Grand Prix of Monterey is set for 12:00pm ET on Sunday July 27th with live TV coverage on FOX and SiriusXM channel 218.
