The green flag drops on a brand new NTT INDYCAR SERIES this weekend at the series’ traditional season-opening location – the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla.
Following a record-setting 2025 season, the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team will look to get off to a strong start in 2026 at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
The team returns all three of its drivers – Pato O’Ward, Nolan Siegel and Christian Lundgaard – for the upcoming campaign. Following last week’s Unser INDYCAR Open Test at Phoenix Raceway on Feb. 17-18, the trio of Arrow McLaren pilots will be on track in St. Pete on Friday, Feb. 27 ahead of race day on March 1.
