A return to the West Coast for the final two races of the season.

The Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team will end its season racing in back-to-back weekends, first at Portland International Raceway in Oregon. Last year, the team narrowly missed out on a podium finish with Pato O'Ward who finished a race-high fourth.

As the season is coming to a close, all drivers are looking to pick up valuable points and improved their positions in the championship standings.

Read what Pato, Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi, as well as Racing Director Gavin Ward are saying before Sunday's 110-lap event.

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

"I've got some nice memories of Portland, mostly from five years ago when I won my Indy NXT championship. At this level, it has been a bit of a rollercoaster for me in the past. We've had some good races and we've had some bad races, but I've always enjoyed going to that track. I think it's one of the tracks with the most NTT INDYCAR SERIES history that we go to in the year. It's quite enjoyable to drive around there, so I'm pretty pumped to go back."

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

"After securing consecutive top-five finishes, we're definitely carrying some momentum into the penultimate race at Portland. I have a lot of good memories from this track, so while we've had our ups and downs this season, I'm looking forward to continuing the trend that we're on. It's going to be a beautiful weekend from a weather standpoint, so I hope to see a big turnout from the always knowledgable northwest fans."

"It’s a quick turnaround as we head to the West Coast for the final two races of the season. We want to keep tallying the championship points and get Pato, Felix and Alexander a few more spots higher in the standings. The road courses will be tough fights and we expect the field to be tight as it always is. Let’s hit the road and race."
