"What a great way to close out the day here in Milwaukee with the win in Race 1"
A win in the return to the Milwaukee Mile!
The Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team began Saturday with qualifying for both races for the weekend's doubleheader. Alexander Rossi qualified the best of the team cars starting third, Pato O'Ward started sixth and Nolan Siegel in 24th after a nine-position grid penalty.
Saturday's race ended with Pato O'Ward leading 133 laps during the race, winning his third race of the season. He is the only driver this season to win on both a street course, road course and oval.
Alexander Rossi ended Race 1 in seventh place, and Nolan Siegel ended the event in 17th.
There is still one more race on Sunday, so see what the drivers and Team Principal Gavin Ward said after 250 laps at The Mile.

"First, I want to congratulate Pato; that's a great win for the team. As for the No. 6 Big Machine Music City Grand Prix Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, we had a really good race going and we all worked really hard for two hours and drove through the field. Then, we lost about 15 spots because of the timing of the last yellow, and that kind of ruined our day. Hopefully that doesn't happen tomorrow, but excited to start up front and give this another go."
"First and foremost, this is an awesome day for Team Chevy claiming the top four spots. They really brought the power today. They were really strong and gave us the motor we needed to go race for the win. Pato managed the race beautifully, and I think the team executed on the top level with pit stops and strategy. Alexander had another strong day with a top-10 finish, and it was looking like a pretty decent fight from the back for Nolan until that pit lane incident. We'll learn from it. We're starting further up tomorrow so no reason we can't have another good day."
