On the evening of February 4, Arrow McLaren presented its fresh liveries for the upcoming 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, maintaining the same driver lineup as in 2025. Pato O’Ward will continue behind the wheel of the No. 5 Chevrolet, Nolan Siegel will race the No. 6, and Christian Lundgaard will pilot the No. 7. This stable roster underscores the team’s commitment as one of only four to retain drivers from the previous year.
Strong Performances Highlight Previous Season
Both O’Ward and Lundgaard achieved personal bests in the 2025 standings, with O’Ward finishing a distant second to champion Alex Palou, and Lundgaard claiming fifth place. Only Chip Ganassi Racing matched Arrow McLaren by placing two drivers in the top five, with Palou first and Scott Dixon third, confirming a competitive field for the year ahead.
Expansion and Modernization of Indianapolis Headquarters
The team also showcased its updated McLaren Racing Center located in Indianapolis, unveiled alongside the liveries. The facility, formerly Andretti Global’s workshop, underwent extensive renovation and enlargement over the past season and offseason, now spanning 86,000 square feet. This upgrade reflects Arrow McLaren’s investment in infrastructure to support future success.
Looking Ahead to the Season Opener in Florida
Arrow McLaren’s drivers—O’Ward, Siegel, and Lundgaard—are set to compete at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 1. The race will take place on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, with coverage available on FOX, FOX Deportes, FOX One, and the INDYCAR Radio Network. As preparations conclude, the team aims to build on its momentum and strong foundation for a promising season.
