Arrow McLaren placed two cars within the front two rows at Qualifying today on a steamy day that saw ambient temperatures reach as high as 89 degrees.

Christian matched his career-best qualifying result in papaya, scoring a front row position in P2. Nolan finished just behind him in P4, scoring his best career qualifying result in his young NTT INDYCAR SERIES career.

Pato faced challenges with gapping and did not advance through the initial round of Qualfying. He'll start Sunday's race from P14.

"The last few races, we’ve tried to think about the long game and try to be focused on a better tire strategy going into the race. I think this weekend, we felt we didn’t need to do that, so we knew that could go for it. It wasn’t quite enough. That No. 10 car seems to be too strong. We've got two cars in the top four tomorrow, so time to execute and go for the win."

“I’m very happy with P4 running on the used tires. I think we could have given a Christian a run for the front row on a new set, which would have been fun, but I’m happy to be starting fourth. It’s my best INDYCAR starting position, and it’s nice to be in the Firestone Fast 6 again. We’ve had a few rough weekends, and things are really turning around. We’ve got some new faces on the No. 6 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew, and it’s all working well. We’ve got young people that are hungry for it, along with experienced, proven faces, so obviously we're excited for the rest of the year.”

“We’ve had a really fast car all weekend. Gapping issues in Q1 kept us from advancing. It’s a shame because we had the pace, so now we get to have fun from the back tomorrow.”
