Friday at the Sonsio Grand Prix was packed with on-track action, featuring three sessions throughout the day. Arrow McLaren had promising pace throughout the first two Practices, but unfortunately they were unable to fully maximize that speed in Qualifying.

Pato narrowly missed out of advancing to the Firestone Fast 6 and will start eighth for Saturday's race. Christian and Nolan also just missed advancing out of Round 1, and they will start 14th and 18th, respectively.

The Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team will be on track Saturday for Warm-Up at 11:32 a.m. ET before the 85-lap race on FOX at 4:30 p.m. ET.

"The car feels good. I think the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew have done a great job in giving me a good balance in Practice 1 and 2. We missed the Firestone Fast 6 because we're losing speed on the straight, but hopefully we can find exactly what it is. This is a very straight-line speed sensitive track. We want to go forward tomorrow, not backwards. I trust the team is going to find it, and tomorrow we'll be ready."

Christian Lundgaard, Driver, No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

Practice 1	1:10.1853	6th
Practice 2	1:10.4377	11th
Qualifying - Round 1, Group 2	1:10.0949	7th
Qualifying Result		14th

"It was a frustrating session. We struggled with balance in both practices and went into Qualifying with something that was unknown; we didn't use the Firestone Alternate tires in Practice 1 or 2, so not really having a reference for what the balance would be or how the tire would perform was tricky. It's frustrating coming to a track where you know you're fast, the pace has been in the car but it's tough to drive. We tried to simplify that but then just missed and got it out of the window. At the end of the day, our options are limited tomorrow, so the race will be tough to make up positions. We will give it our best shot."

Nolan Siegel, Driver, No. 6 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

Practice 1	1:10.1730	5th
Practice 2	1:10.3914	9th
Qualifying - Round 1, Group 2	1:10.1178	9th
Qualifying Result		18th

"It's disappointing that we weren't able to advance out of round one of Qualifying because I think we rolled off in a competitive window and had a pretty positive day overall. The margins in this series are so tight, and today proved that. We have work to do tomorrow, but I feel confident that we'll be able to make our way up and come away with a good result."
