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

"Long Beach is a massive market for Latinos, and every time I go back I get to see more and more Pato jerseys. I love the town and atmosphere, and I can't wait to give everyone a great show. Historically, this hasn't been our best track so we need to keep pushing to find that little extra bit we need."

Felix Rosenqvist, Driver, No. 6 onsemi Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, said:

"It's awesome to get back to the West Coast again. Long Beach is one of the highlights of the season, and we're curious as a team to see if we have made the same improvements there as we did in St. Petersburg."

Alexander Rossi, Driver, No. 7 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, said:

"It's always a special feeling racing in Long Beach. The atmosphere, the fans and the history make this event one of the highlights of the season. We've been working hard on our setup and strategy for this race, and I'm confident that our team can deliver a strong performance. We'll be pushing to bounce back from the Texas disappointment, and I can't wait to get out there and put on a show for our fans."

Gavin Ward, Racing Director, Arrow McLaren, said:

"The team is in high spirits as we head to the streets of Long Beach. It's an iconic event that would be very special to win. But our goal is unchanged: focus on being better each race, execute clean race weekends and try to get our cars up in the top six."
