Pato Wins & Championship Finish   

 

Pato reached the top of the podium twice in 2025 with wins in Iowa and Toronto in July on his way to finishing second in the championship. The Iowa win was a breakthrough moment for the No. 5 car after three runner-up finishes in the first half of the season. Eight days later, Pato took the checkered flag again on the Streets of Toronto, moving forward nine positions thanks to countless daring moves and overtakes into the picturesque ‘Princes’ Gates’ Turn 1. 

 

Fastest Race Laps   

Pato twice recorded the fastest lap during a race (Thermal Club: 103.3875 seconds on Lap 3; Iowa Race 1: 18.0170 seconds on Final Lap).

 

Nolan Firestone Fast 6 Appearances & Top 10’s 

Nolan showed great pace in Qualifying throughout the season, highlighted by two appearances in the Firestone Fast 6 at Barber Motorsports Park and Mid-Ohio. Nolan also notched two top-10 race finishes – P8 at Road America and P9 at Barber. 

Poles  

 

Papaya drivers claimed the NTT P1 Award in Qualifying three times. Pato twice took pole position at Thermal Club and again at Nashville Superspeedway. Christian posted the top Qualifying time in Portland followed by Pato in P2, achieving a 1-2 Qualifying finish just as they did previously at Thermal.

 

Firestone Pit Stop Performance Award Finish

 

The No. 5 team finished third in the Firestone Pit Stop Performance Award standings, that crew’s best finish to date (P4 in 2023). Their prowess was on display in Toronto where they masterfully executed an overcut that helped spring the No. 5 car to the lead. 

Christian's Championship & Pit Stop Finishes

 

Christian’s fifth-place championship finish was the best of his career (P8 in 2023) and the best result to date for Arrow McLaren’s No. 7 entry (previous high: P8 in 2022 with Rosenqvist). 

The No. 7 crew also finished fifth in the Firestone Pit Stop Award standings, top five for the second consecutive year (P3 in 2024).  

Christian entered the season finale in position to push forward to third, but a power issue unfortunately halted his race early. 

Nolan: Laps Led at Laguna Seca and Positions Gained at Indy 500 

 

Nolan led 11 laps at Laguna Seca, and, earlier in the season, picked up 11 spots in his first career Indianapolis 500 start, moving from P24 to P13.
