Pato and the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew nailed strategy, pace and pit stops today to bring home a victory for the second straight weekend, this time on the streets of Toronto. This marks the 10th podium for the team, which matches the team's previous high for most in a single season (2023). Pato has narrowed the gap to the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship leader to within 99 points as they round the corner into the final four races of the season. Christian and Nolan had several bright moments throughout the day, but were caught up in chaotic happenings on-track and ended the day in P13 and P18, respectively.

Pato O'Ward, Driver, No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

"This has been a great day. It's been the most challenging circuit in the past for us, and I didn't expect it to get this much better for us this year. The team gave me an awesome strategy, they nailed it, and I was feeling so good on the Firestone Primary tires. The car was great and we executed it all today. Amazing job."

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

"A long day for us. The strategy didn't really work out for us, and unfortunately the other Chevy's didn't help us out to be able to fight off some of the Honda cars. We scored some some valuable points, but at the end of the day, I am still not satisfied. Congratulations to Pato and the No. 5 Chevy. It's great to see an Arrow McLaren up there- we want to be up there, too."

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

"A very unfortunate day. I got caught up in a Turn One incident early on and damaged the front wing and lost my diffuser, so I had to run the rest of the race without my diffuser and was horrifically slow. I then got caught out again at the end. It’s a shame, as we didn't do anything wrong today."

Tony Kanaan, Team Principal, Arrow McLaren

"A positive weekend for the whole team. Of course there is only one winner, and we celebrate Pato. On Christian and Nolan, it came down to the strategies we were playing with, and Pato was in a better position with a more aggressive strategy. 

Coming into this weekend, this place hasn’t been one of our stronger tracks, so it’s statement to the entire team that we never give up. I am proud of everyone, and it’s a good feeling. 

In the Championship, we are closing the gap to Palou, and Pato is still second and Christian fifth. It’s also great to give Zak a win in person and to get a win for Chevy.

It was awesome to see so much papaya in the crowd, so thank you to the fans and all of our partners, especially the ones that were here supporting us. There’s no better place than Victory Lane.”
