The Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team kicks off its tripleheader this holiday weekend.

As the NTT INDYCAR SERIES heads to Ohio for Round 10 of its 17-race calendar, the team is looking to bring the momentum from Alexander's Laguna Seca podium into the race weekend. The 13-turn course is a classic on the schedule for camping, holiday festivities and fast cars. 

Alexander Rossi has previously secured a win at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Pato O'Ward a pole, making the team hopeful for a successful weekend. Nolan Siegel has also taken to the sports car course during his tenure in INDYNXT.

Now, read what's on the minds of Pato, Nolan, Alexander and Team Principal Gavin Ward ahead of Sunday's race on NBC.

"I'm looking forward to the repave at Mid-Ohio. It was already a very physical race without the repave, so I think it's going to be one of the most physical races that we're going to have. I'm expecting that pace to come up and the setups of the car to change a little bit, so it'll be key to get all of the little things right. It'll be a good challenge for the drivers and the teams, but I always enjoy driving around this track."

Nolan Siegel, Arrow McLaren, Driver, said:

Championship Position	34rd	18 points
Average Starting Position	23.0
Average Finishing Position	12.0
Best Starting Position	P23	Grand Prix of Monterey

"I'm looking forward to my second race with Arrow McLaren and going into a race weekend after getting into the shop and getting to know everyone a bit more. We've got a test under our belt now, and I think going into the first hybrid weekend is going to be very exciting. I think it's going to even the playing field a little bit, so hopefully I can take advantage of that."

"There has been a lot of noise going into the weekend, which is all a part of racing this time of year, but I'm focusing on the second half of the season and the debut of the long-awaited hybrid. We came off our best result of the year at a high-grip road course and with the recent repave at Mid-Ohio, we're expecting to roll off the truck strong once again."

Gavin Ward, Team Principal, Arrow McLaren, said:

"It's the start of a new era this weekend at Mid-Ohio as we'll be racing with the new hybrid powertrain for the first time. The new hybrid technology, combined with the track repave at Mid-Ohio, should make for some interesting new challenges this weekend. The team went straight from a strong race in Laguna to tests in Iowa and St. Louis. Our push to improve and grow as a team is relentless, and every time we hit the track gives us an opportunity to learn and get better while doing what we love."
