The NTT INDYCAR SERIES ran late into the night at World Wide Technology Raceway after multiple rain delays temporarily halted competition. In the end, all 260 laps were completed on the 1.25-mile oval, complete with 17 lead changes, four cautions and two red flags.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Christian led the way for Arrow McLaren with a P10 finish followed closely by Pato in P11. Nolan\u2019s race ended early due to an incident on Lap 55.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next, the second half of the season gets underway as the papaya trio returns to racing on June 19-21 at Road America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

“It was a very entertaining race. For once on an oval, I felt like I was driving the car, which is a big step up. I think we made a lot of improvements from Indy. It didn’t really feel like a tenth-place-finish car; my race felt a lot better than where the result ended up. There are a lot of positives from the night, a lot of good learnings, a lot to take from here to our next oval in Nashville.”<\/p>\n

“Disappointing Sunday. It\u2019s been a very tough start to our 2026 season. It hasn\u2019t been good in many ways at all. It\u2019s been consistent in top-fives where we could. Everywhere else it\u2019s been a big challenge. Plenty of racing to go. Hopefully we can turn it around and get some solid results on the board.”<\/p>\n

“I left Palou room on the inside. I knew he was there. I knew we weren\u2019t really racing him. I was just kind of letting him go, and it felt to me like he hung me out there and then never turned in. I…<\/p>\n
