2026 Arrow McLaren Portland International Raceway Race Preview

Arrow McLaren heads to the Pacific Northwest this weekend for its annual stop at Portland International Raceway (PIR), a twisting 12-turn road course in the Rose City, as the the NTT INDYCAR SERIES begins a busy final stretch of the 2026 season.

Christian and Pato remain in the championship fight at P4 and P5 in the standings, respectively, with six races remaining over the next five weeks. The duo qualified in the top two spots at PIR in 2025. Nolan also carries solid momentum into Round No. 13 of 2026 after consistently running in the top 10 in recent races.

The team kicks off the action on Friday evening with the first of five on-track sessions over the three-day event culminating in the 110-lap race on Sunday afternoon.

"I'm looking forward to getting back out on track in Portland after a few weekends off. Our group on the 6 car has continued to make good progress this season, regularly running towards the front in the top 10. We're going to keep pushing and aiming to maximize every chance we have to go out and compete."

“I'm eager to get back out to Portland. We had a ton of pace there last year in qualifying and in the race. And, of course, we've had a lot of success on road courses this season as well. I'm confident we'll have the package to be up front and in the fight again as we start this busy closing stretch."
