Practice 2 at Barber Motorsports Park started with dry conditions but ended with light rain showers, and Arrow McLaren left the session with questions about how the track conditions would look for Qualifying.

Qualifying ended up being a dry session, and Nolan Siegel took advantage of the conditions by advancing to the first Firestone Fast 6 of his career. Nolan will start the race in sixth, immediately followed by his two teammates: Christian in seventh and Pato in eighth.

Tomorrow, the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team will be on track for Warm-Up at 9:02 a.m. CT before the 90-lap race on FOX at 12:30 p.m. CT.

"I think it was just execution to be honest. Going into Qualifying, we didn't expect to be in the Firestone Fast 6. We thought our true pace was in the top 10 after we were in that range in the other two sessions. In the Firestone Fast 6, I think everything went smoothly. We were calm, collected and made good changes. We didn't get ahead of ourselves and executed everything really well. That's what it takes. Everyone else here is near perfect and if you're not perfect, the results don't come. I think the No. 6 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren team just executed everything well from all angles and it paid off."

"I’m a little disappointed, I will say. We didn’t quite get the tires in the window for the push lap and went slower in Q2 than we did in Q1. I think there are a lot of positives to take from the weekend going into tomorrow’s race. As a team, we’re sixth, seventh and eighth. As long as we all make it through Lap 1, I believe we’ll all be okay and definitely have some opportunities to bring Arrow McLaren forward in the race."

"In Practice 2, I had that mishap in Turn 17 and we didn't get a lot of running in, so we were playing a bit of a guessing game going into Qualifying. We just missed it there by a little bit, but considering the fact that we didn't have a lot of running in, I'm not displeased with it. Obviously, we want to be a bit further up front but I think it's all to play for tomorrow. Strategy is going to be important like it's been the last few races. It's good to see all three cars got into the top 12 and cool to see Nolan get into his first Firestone Fast 6. We can work from here."
