Three on-track session on Saturday, including qualifying, left the Arrow McLaren team ready for Sunday.

Pato O'Ward was the highest qualifier on the team in sixth, Alexander Rossi in ninth and Felix Rosenqvist in 11th.

Next is Sunday's 110-lap race on Portland's permanent road course.

Read what the drivers, as well as Racing Director Gavin Ward said after a full day at Portland International Raceway.

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

"It's another Firestone Fast Six for us. Obviously there's still something we need to find in the Fast Six because we have yet to be on pole, and I'm not quite sure why we were so far off from the rest of the cars in the Fast Six. It's still a decent starting position for tomorrow."

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

"We've been outside the window all weekend. The temperatures have been swinging a lot. We didn't start in the window, so we're chasing the car and chasing the temperatures and have been a step behind all weekend. I think the qualifying result is actually a surprise considering how the car feels, so we're not out of the game. We definitely need a good change here going into the warmup for tomorrow."

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

"Frustrating qualifying session. We had the fastest time of the day, and then a mechanical issue keeps us from the Firestone Fast Six. We can't seem to catch a break--just really frustrating for the whole crew. We'll look into it and make the most of race day tomorrow from P11."

Gavin Ward, Racing Director, Arrow McLaren, said:

"I'm hugely disappointed to have let Felix down with a car issue there. He showed great pace the first round of qualifying. I think he had potential to fight for the front row. We'll learn from it and get better. All three cars in the top 11 with the way the NTT INDYCAR SERIES is, you can win from there as we've seen in recent events. Heads down for the race."
