ARROW McLAREN 110TH INDIANAPOLIS 500 CARB DAY PRACTICE REPORT

"Now we just need to put it all together one more time on race day"

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES fortunately completed its full Carb Day Practice session today ahead of the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Sunday. The four Arrow McLaren Chevrolets continued to refine their balance while running in traffic, while the pit crews also found time for hot stops ahead of what will be a busy day in pit lane on Sunday. After the two-hour Practice session, Arrow McLaren won both of their Pit Stop Challenge matchups before rain ended the competition early. Ryan and the No. 31 PrizePicks Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew, alongside LEGACY MOTOR CLUB crew members, beat the No. 10 while Pato and the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew edged the No. 26. Next up is Legends Day, where the drivers will take part in the Public Driver's Meeting and the Indy 500 Festival Parade in downtown Indianapolis ahead of race day.

“I’m happy that we got our running in today. The rain stayed away, at least for practice. We’re getting the car better and better each time we’re out, and I think we’ve got it in the right window where we can keep working on it throughout the race. It’s a long, long day. We’ve just got to keep making it better.”

Ryan Hunter-Reay, Driver, No.31 PrizePicks Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

Practice	223.101 mph	P25
Total Laps	57

“Final practice done. The car was feeling good on Monday but that didn’t translate into today’s running which is frustrating. However, there are still some positives to take away. I think we’re in position to move forward, and we’ll keep dialing it in during the race. It was also good to get some pit stops in this morning, too. Our crew, including the addition of the LEGACY crew members we’ve had with us this May, looked super fast today and at the Pit Stop Challenge. It’s a shame that the weather cut the event short because we were feeling confident of going the whole way.”

Nolan Siegel, Driver, No. 6 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

"Last practice before race day and we are the happiest we’ve been all month. Excited about the race car that we have. Excited about the group that we have. I’m very proud of the work that everyone’s done on the 6 car throughout the Month of May, and now we just need to put it all together one more time on race day."

Christian Lundgaard, Driver, No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

"It was a good Carb Day. We learned a few things after trying a few items with some big hitters in the right direction. That’s always nice. We kept the car safe, and now I’m just pumped for race day. So far so good, and the No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet looks great out there.”
