"Really excited to go for it tomorrow"

Arrow McLaren took part in a busy Saturday at the Milwaukee Mile, where the team locked in their grid spots for Sunday’s 250-mile battle.

Pato showed impressive pace on his run, coming just short of a front-row start and securing P3 for tomorrow’s race. Christian and Nolan fell just outside of the target window, settling into P17 and P18 positions, respectively.

The team will make overnight preparations and jump right into the penultimate contest on the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES calendar with green flag slated for 2:20 p.m. EDT.

“Honestly, the No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet felt good during Qualifying, but it felt like it was under-driven. I think there’s much more pace in the car. I think it’s a good race car, most importantly, and we know you don’t score the big points on Saturdays.”

"It was a decent run for the No. 6 SmartStop Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew. I felt we actually got quite a lot out of it, and didn't feel that we were too far off from where our potential was. I know we can find more pace, especially for the race, and we'll be ready to move forward tomorrow."
