2026 Arrow McLaren World Wide Technology Raceway Race Preview

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES heads into a fifth-consecutive weekend of on-track action with its annual stop at World Wide Technology Raceway, located just outside of St. Louis in Madison, Illinois.

Arrow McLaren is gearing up for the second short oval and first night race of the 2026 season with some momentum after posting two top-five finishes (Pato P4, Christian P5) on the streets of Detroit. Pato especially will aim to breakthrough at a track where he's finished runner-up on four separate occasions.

The opening on-track action can be seen on FS1 Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET as Pato, Nolan and Christian begin their weekend on the 1.25-mile oval.

"Every year we look forward to going back to World Wide Technology Raceway. It's a short oval, but it’s still very fast and always great racing. There’s a lot of races left in the championship, and we’ve had success here in the past. So, it’s a huge opportunity to start scoring some bigger points. I’m excited for it. Night races are always the best."

“It’s been a busy past month, and through it all, our team has made a lot of progress. I’m excited for another opportunity to put it all together and execute. Plus, we’ll be unveiling a new livery, and we get to go night racing. It should be a fun one.”

“I’m feeling good heading into St. Louis this weekend. We didn’t quite get onto the podium in Detroit, but we’ll still carry strong momentum into the second short oval of the season. With the season approaching its halfway point, we’re very much in the championship hunt, so we’ll keep pushing and look to maximize our result this weekend.”
