With another running of the Indianapolis 500 in the books, Arrow McLaren turns its attention to the Motor City for the final NTT INDYCAR SERIES race in this busy Month of May.

Following the two traditional Indianapolis races, the team heads to Detroit with Christian (4th) and Pato (5th) still firmly in championship contention alongside Nolan coming off his best Indy 500 finish to date.

All three drivers begin their weekend on the nine-turn, 1.645-mile downtown street course on Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET for Practice 1 on FS2.
