A wet session for Practice 2, eventually led to clear skies and a dry track for qualifying.

The Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team went into the unknown, like the rest of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES field, for qualifying on Saturday evening after a delayed start.

Pato O'Ward narrowly misses out on his first pole position of the season and will start second. Alexander Rossi will start 10th and Felix in 14th.

Read what the drivers said after qualifying as well as Racing Director Gavin Ward as the team shifts its focus to Sunday.

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

"Congrats to Scott. I don't think I had three-tenths of a second in there to get a little bit closer; I maybe had one. But I was super happy with my car. I think we were really strong in Round 2. I thought it would be a couple tenths slower in the Firestone Fast Six just because I wasn't on the Firestone Green Tires. I've never won from pole, so I'm not angry I'm starting second."

Practice 2	11th	1:35.3096
Qualifying - Round 1, Group 2	4th	1:15.0849
Qualifying - Round 2	1st	1:14.5944
Qualifying - Firestone Fast Six	2nd	1:14.9395
Qualifying Position	2nd

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

"It was a wild day. We didn't go out for Practice 2. It was one of our better street-course qualifyings, but we still have a decent gap to find to get to the top six. We'll keep chipping at it; we've learned some good things and we have lots to play for tomorrow."

Practice 2	26th	No Time
Qualifying - Round 1, Group 1	4th	1:15.8303
Qualifying - Round 2	10th	1:15.5711
Qualifying Position	10th

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

"That was very close, just four-thousandths of a second from transferring to Round 2. I'm a bit disappointed because it was a good lap, but some small things kept us from getting there. I think little limiter hits and stuff like that would've been enough to transfer, but it's super tight. 

"This hasn't really been the smoothest weekend, so it was kind of a big step to take the No. 6 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren Chevrolet into qualifying, but I thought the car felt really good. The balance was good. It's just tight out there. I think having two sets of Firestone Greens will be helpful tomorrow. At this track, I don't think starting position is hugely important. Having no warmup is going to make it a bit more of a guessing game going into the race, but we're pretty good at guessing, so we should be all right."

Practice 2	21st	1:38.9884
Qualifying - Round 1, Group 2	7th	1:15.4638
Qualifying Position	14th

Gavin Ward, Racing Director, Arrow McLaren, said:

"Front-row start for Pato is great. You always want the pole, but the front row is a great place to start and we'll try to keep our nose clean at the start of the race. There's a little more work to do for Alexander and Felix starting 10th and 14th, but with the way the race can run here, we have three bullets that can win this thing. We'll open our options up strategy-wise and see how it goes."
