Arrow McLAREN 2025 XPEL Grand Prix at Road America Race Preview
"As a team, we’re staying focused on one race at a time"
This weekend's XPEL Grand Prix at Road America marks the ninth race of the 17-race calendar, officially kicking off the second half of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. While a win has evaded Arrow McLaren through the first eight races, the team enters the second half of the season with some momentum. They've collected eight top-three finishes on the season, including coming off a P2 result from Pato O'Ward last weekend.
Pato, Nolan Siegel and Christian Lundgaard will look to build upon that momentum as they head to the physical test that is Road America. Nolan will be piloting the No. 6 onsemi Arrow McLaren Chevrolet for the third straight race and the final time this season.
