2026 Arrow McLaren Streets of Markham Race Preview

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES' busy final stretch of the 2026 season continues this weekend as the teams head north of the border. The series has a long history of racing in downtown Toronto dating back to 1986, but starting this year the annual Canadian event shifts 20 miles northeast to nearby Markham, Ontario.

Pato will look to follow up on his 2025 win in Canada with another strong performance, while Nolan and Christian aim to deliver in dual SmartStop liveries. The Arrow McLaren trio takes on the brand new 2.19-mile, 12-turn street circuit for the first time on Friday afternoon.

Pato O'Ward, Driver, No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

"We had great success in Toronto last year, but this weekend will be interesting with it being a new street course. I'm excited to get to know this new circuit and try and maximize our package."

Nolan Siegel, Driver, No. 6 SmartStop Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

"It's always a fun challenge to take on a new street course, which we'll do back to back over the next two weekends. We'll get a better feel for things once we walk the track and turn some laps, and then we'll work to get the most out of the car throughout the weekend."

Christian Lundgaard, Driver, No. 7 SmartStop Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

"I'm looking forward to getting up there and checking out the new track. After some challenges in the first couple of days in Portland, we were able to make some progress on race day. We'll work to carry that momentum over, roll off better and get to the front in the SmartStop Chevy."
