Arrow McLAREN 2025 Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Race Preview
"I feel like our best is ahead of us"

After a rare summer weekend off in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar, Arrow McLaren returns to the track for the first of four straight race weekends. The big summer stretch kicks off with Mid-Ohio, where a year ago Pato O'Ward came out victorious in the first race of the hybrid era. Arrow McLaren's first win of 2025 is still there for the taking, so what better place to do it at than Mid-Ohio?
Pato, Christian Lundgaard and Nolan Siegel hope to celebrate the holiday weekend with a trip to the top step of the podium and create some fireworks of their own. The on-track action kicks off with Practice 1 on Independence Day at 1:00 p.m. EDT on FOX.

"I'm excited to head back to Mid-Ohio to defend my win from last year. This is a great racetrack and I know we're capable of coming away with another victory here this weekend.

“We had our best result of the season at Road America, and it's definitely something to build on. I feel like we're starting to hit our stride, so that makes me even more excited to get on track this weekend at Mid-Ohio. We're starting to get to tracks where I raced with Arrow McLaren last year, so I feel like our best is ahead of us.”

“We're entering a busy and important stretch of the season with a lot of races in a row, but we've got to focus on one race at a time. That starts with Mid-Ohio this weekend. We've been fast on road courses all season and I don't see why that would change here, especially a place this team has won in the past. I'm ready to get this stretch going.”
