Arrow McLaren 2025 Iowa Speedway Doubleheader Race Preview

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES continues our summer stretch as Arrow McLaren heads to Iowa Speedway for the only doubleheader of the season. Call it a two for one special. 

Doing a double take? You're not wrong. The team returns to the Speedway after a test session just over two weeks ago, and we're back with momentum. 

Previous winner at Iowa Speedway, Pato O'Ward, has the chance to land on the podium for the fourth consecutive year, following a strong nine-position charge through the field at Mid-Ohio. Nolan Siegel arrives after earning his best qualifying result of the season, and Christian Lundgaard fresh off a podium finish. 

Pato, Nolan and Christian are doubling down and ready to battle at the Fastest Short Track on the Planet.

“Back to the cornfields for two races, the only double weekend that we have. The cars have new downforce levels and different tires, so hoping to get a good second groove going. We should make it very entertaining for everybody thats watching the races."

"Off to Iowa for a doubleheader. It's going to be very interesting because they've changed aero configuration and tires from last year, and again from testing two weeks ago. Nobody really knows what to expect. We're hoping that we'll be stronger than other cars right out the gate, because there is not a lot of practice time to figure it out. There are lot of things to learn, and we will do our best with whatever we roll off with."

"Doubleheader in Iowa, which I'm obviously looking forward to. Following the test a lot of changes have been made, so I think practice will be very beneficial to see if we can get a second groove going. Qualifying will be very important. We'll take it as it comes, but hopefully we'll have good Arrow McLaren Chevrolets this weekend."
