"This partnership is a natural fit"
INDIANAPOLIS – August 4, 2026 – Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team today announced a multi-year partnership with Aurora Innovation, Inc. (NASDAQ: AUR), welcoming the self-driving technology company as an Official Partner.
Aurora is transforming the movement of goods with the Aurora Driver, its self-driving system that enables a Class 8 truck to drive itself. Trucking is a trillion dollar industry in the U.S. but it faces challenges, including an aging driver population, skyrocketing operating costs and underutilized assets. These challenges make autonomy – which adds safe, reliable capacity without displacing jobs – valuable to the industry and society.
Last year, Aurora became the first company to launch a commercial self-driving service with heavy-duty trucks on public roads. Aurora recently released its second-generation driverless truck and plans to expand across the Sun Belt.
The partnership will showcase Aurora branding across the Arrow McLaren team kit beginning at Portland International Raceway August 7-9. For the 2027 season, their branding will extend to driver firesuits and the engine cover of the No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
"We're excited to welcome Aurora to our team. This partnership is a natural fit, as both of our organizations understand the value of innovation, safety and reliability. We look forward to partnering with Aurora as they continue to grow and shape the future of transportation."
"We are thrilled to team up with Arrow McLaren, a brand that embodies the same relentless pursuit of performance and innovation that drives us at Aurora. This multi-year partnership is more than just a collaboration; it’s an alignment of two organizations rooted in precision, cutting-edge technology, and a shared vision for the future. Racing demands excellence at every turn, and we look forward to accelerating our growth alongside one of the most iconic names in motorsport."
