"Going to give it everything to make it three in a row"
Can Pato and the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew keep the momentum rolling and make it three wins in three weekends?
With four races left, Pato is pushing hard in the championship fight. Every point matters, and he’ll be looking to close the gap from where it currently stands at 99 points when he hits the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
It's a special stop for Christian and Nolan, too. Christian holds the track record here, and Nolan will be racing in front of his hometown crowd, back where he first suited up in papaya.

“Two straight weekends with a win and going to give it everything to make it three. We’ve always raced up front at Laguna Seca, but we haven’t really put it all together to find our way to the podium. I’m hoping that changes, and we keep the momentum rolling with the boys and girls on the 5 crew.”

“I’m looking forward to getting back to Laguna Seca. It’s close to home and was where I made my debut with Arrow McLaren last season. We’ve had strong pace recently in the No. 6 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren Chevrolet but haven’t quite landed the results to match. That’s the focus this weekend, and I feel like we’re in a good position to make it happen.”

“Four races to go, and we’re focused on continuing our push in this championship fight and getting to the top of the podium. Laguna Seca has been a good track for me. I’ve had some great moments here, including the lap record in 2023, and I’m excited to see what we can do this weekend.”
