"We’ll get to work tonight and see what we can do tomorrow"
The NTT INDYCAR SERIES kicked off its on-track action in the Rose City today with Practice 1. Arrow McLaren struggled to find their groove in the opening session with all three cars finishing outside of the top 10.
The team will regroup, dive into the data, look to refine their setups and return to the racetrack Saturday for Practice 2 and Qualifying.

"Very difficult start to the weekend. I thought we were going to be OK there after the first run, but we’re kind of back to where we’ve been in Portland. We have a lot to find and not a lot of time to find it, so we’ll get to work tonight and see what we can do tomorrow."

"It wasn’t where we expected. Obviously we have a lot to work on, but we do have a good baseline to work off of from last year, and we need to see what we can do to improve since we’re not where we were at this point here last year. We’ve got work to do overnight, but we’ve got this."
