"We've raced up front consistently all year"

Arrow McLaren heads west once again for a stop at Portland International Raceway - a challenging 12-turn road course that first hosted INDYCAR SERIES action back in 1984.
Though Portland hasn’t always been kind to the Papaya Army, the team arrives with renewed focus and a year-long track record of pace and consistency.
Pato enters the weekend as the only remaining driver with a shot at the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship, chasing the No. 10 car. Christian returns after a strong P2 finish and is determined to keep climbing from his current fifth place in the standings. Nolan, who boasts plenty of success at Portland in his junior series career, aims to turn his impressive qualifying speed into a strong race-day performance.

"Last year at Portland was a tough one, and it hasn't been among our best tracks, but I feel we’re in a different place now. We've raced up front consistently all year, and that's the expectation entering the weekend. The championship will be an uphill battle, but we're going to give it everything we've got."

"July had its ups and downs where we showed flashes of really strong pace but didn’t quite get the results we were aiming for. Heading into these last three races, the goal is to take that qualifying pace and turn it into complete weekends. I’ve had some good runs at Portland earlier in my career, so hopefully we can lean on that and start the weekend strong."

"We capped off a busy July on the podium, and I'm excited to keep pushing in the championship with three to go. The No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet has been a contender all year, but I'd really like to jump to that top step and deliver a win. With three to go, we're looking to finish out strong starting this weekend in Portland where I've had some strong qualifying runs."
