"We’re heading to our last oval race of the season, ready to give it all we’ve got"

One final oval for the 2023 season.
The Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team will take its three full-time entries to the 1.25-mile oval at World Wide Technology Raceway just outside of St. Louis, Mo.
The team has seen strong pace on the ovals this year, as it looks to capture its first win of the season. The 15th round of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES schedule is the third to last event of the year.
See what Pato O'Ward, Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi are saying pre-event, as well as Racing Director Gavin Ward ahead of Sunday's 260-lap race.

"I like going back to St. Louis. I've had a good amount of podiums there in the past, and we were really close last year, so hopefully we can get back on it this year. We're going back to an oval, which always produces some good racing. This weekend, we have a different tire and a different extra tire, so I think that will keep everyone on their toes on strategy. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top."

"World Wide Technology Raceway has always been an awesome track because of how different the two ends of the track are. Turns 1 and 2 are like a road course, whereas Turns 3 and 4 are your more traditional short oval corners. I've had great races here in the past, and it's going to be an exciting weekend with the addition of running the Firestone Alternate tires for the first time on an oval. The fans who always turn out in a big way here are in for quite a treat in what will be our final oval race of the year."

We’ve been chasing a win all year, and across all three cars, we have the pace to make it happen at World Wide Technology Raceway. This kicks off three back to back races to end the season, and we want to have a strong finish to 2023."
