Victory at Road America for Christian Lundgaard and No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew

From an unscheduled front wing change on Lap 1 to Victory Lane, Christian and the No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew delivered a remarkable comeback Sunday at Road America. After contact exiting Turn 1 forced an early pit stop that dropped the team to last place, Christian and the crew combined strategy, execution and pace to fight their way back to victory after 55 laps.

The win marks McLaren Racing's 29th INDYCAR SERIES victory and 11th since returning to full-time competition in 2020. For Christian, it marks the third win of his career and second of the season (Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course).

Pato spent much of the afternoon battling near the front before an untimely yellow flag forced him to take emergency service for fuel while pit lane was closed, sending him to the back of the field. He recovered to finish P12. Nolan was also impacted by the same untimely yellow as Pato, and ultimately finished P21 following an incident in the closing laps of the race.

Arrow McLaren now turns its attention to Mid-Ohio with race day set for July 5.

"Winners here in Road America. I'm not quite sure how we pulled that off after the start. I'm shocked, surprised and happy. Obviously, we were on the struggle bus all weekend on the 7 car and managed to turn it around for the race. I'm pretty happy about that. We just need to qualify better, and I think there could be many more good results. But two wins in a row on road courses is pretty sweet."

Pato O'Ward, Driver, No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet

"First, congrats to Christian and the team for the win. In terms of performance on my side, I think we had everything in position to win this race today. We just can't catch a break with these unlucky yellows. We obviously got cycled to last on that last yellow, and that's a pretty big race-ender. There are a lot of positives in terms of performance we can take away from this weekend, and we're going to go to Mid-Ohio to try to get one there."

"We had a super strong weekend overall. The pace was really good in the race, and I thought we were a podium or top-five contending car. Like Pato, we caught an unlucky yellow that sent us backwards. We kept pushing and worked our way forward but then got hit from behind on that final restart. The performance was really strong from everyone on the 6 car, and it's just an unfortunate feeling leaving the racetrack knowing you could have come away with so much more. Congratulations to Christian and the 7 crew for an awesome drive and win here."

Tony Kanaan, Team Principal, said:

"A roller coaster of a day on both sides. Christian, obviously, had the hiccup at the start and then came back from a lap down. The combination of him driving a great race and Kyle Moyer calling a great strategy got us a win. Pato and Nolan got caught up in a yellow flag which put them both out of contention. As a team, it was a pretty good day. We came out with the win, our second one of the year. At this point last year, we didn’t have a single win. So, huge improvement, huge boost. We have a weekend off and then back to Mid-Ohio where we’ve won with Pato before, so we’ll be looking for another one."
