A tough day at the office, but all Arrow McLaren cars moved forward in the 110-lap race at Portland International Raceway.

After starting P17, P22 and P23, Alexander Rossi, Pato O'Ward and Nolan Siegel finished 12th, 15th, and 21st, respectively.

The team struggled with overall pace in the race, but was able to make ground through excellent pit stop and strategies in an event that only one caution on Lap 1.

Before the team turns its focus on the Milwaukee doubleheader at the Milwaukee Mile Speedway next weekend, see what the drivers and Team Principal Gavin Ward said after Sunday's race.

"It was a long day, and that was a lot of effort to finish twelfth. But at least we finished, as it had been a few races since we did that. The team did a great job in the race with what we had, maximizing strategy and stops, so it is positive to finally get some points on the board before heading to some tracks where we should be pretty strong at next week."

"Obviously, a very hard weekend for the whole team, including ourselves in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. There are a lot of things to look over to see where the issue is. The reality is, this is unacceptable. We'll see where we can can improve for the coming races to close out the year better than just fighting for 15th."

"It was a very, very long race and it felt like we didn’t really have a whole lot to get by anyone. Then, I made a few mistakes where things just compounded for a pretty disappointing race for us. We will look into it and move on, but we are definitely not satisfied with the weekend. We need to do better, and luckily, we have two more coming up."

Gavin Ward, Team Principal, Arrow McLaren, said:

"That was a long day. It didn’t help starting where we did, but to be honest, it was a weekend to learn from, try to get better from and move on from. I think everybody here would say that we put too much hard work and investment to perform at the level that we did this weekend. We need to learn from it and get better."
