SiriusXM will be co-sponsoring two cars from the Meyer Shank Racing NTT INDYCAR SERIES team in Sunday’s Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto: No. 60 SiriusXM Honda piloted by Felix Rosenqvist and the No. 66 SiriusXM Honda driven by David Malukas. For the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto, the No. 66 SiriusXM Honda, driven by David Malukas, will showcase a special red and black livery featuring SiriusXM’s The Tragically Hip Radio (ch. 757), the exclusive SiriusXM channel that celebrates the band’s musical legacy,

SiriusXM’s The Tragically Hip Radio channel – available on the SiriusXM app – features music from the band’s entire catalogue, with exclusive live recordings, rarities, discussions surrounding their history, and the sounds that have influenced their iconic career.
This year, the band will celebrate 40 years of friendship, music and philanthropy with a soon-to-be-released four-part documentary series on Amazon Prime, a coffee table book, and a box set commemorating their first full-length album, multi-diamond award recipient, Up To Here.
Members of The Tragically Hip will also be appearing at Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto festivities throughout the weekend. Most importantly, Paul Langlois, Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair and Johnny Fay will be the honorary grand marshals for Sunday’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES race. As the grand marshals, the band will announce the most famous words in motorsports, “Drivers, start your engines!” for the 85-lap race on the 11-turn, 2.874-kilometre (1.786-mile) 11-turn temporary street circuit.
“We’re very excited to partner with SiriusXM and The Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at this year’s event and to see The Tragically Hip Radio car racing around the track,” said The Hip. “We’re so pleased with our longstanding partnership with SiriusXM, and we are grateful to their support of our music over the years, especially through our artist-dedicated channel. As a band, you think you’ve done it all, and the next thing you know, you’re announcing the most famous words in motorsports to kick off a world-class auto race!”
“We’re thrilled once again to participate in this iconic Toronto event, and to give our listeners front seat access to all the action as the exclusive audio home for the race. We are especially pleased to partner with legendary Canadian band, The Tragically Hip on this event. Since launching The Tragically Hip Radio in 2019, we’ve been able to share exclusive and never-been-aired live performances, interviews and more with our subscribers, and this is another example of how our service brings fans closer to what they love with content you can’t get anywhere else,” said Mark Redmond, President & CEO, SiriusXM Canada. “We wish Felix, David, and the entire Meyer Shank team all the best in the race!”
