Arrow McLaren’s Nolan Siegel in the No.6 NTT DATA Chevrolet secured a career-best qualifying result for Sunday’s Honda Indy 200.
Siegel will start the 90-lap race from fourth with a time of 01:05.9262s.
Speaking following the action he said:
I’m very happy with P4 running on the used tires. I think we could have given a Christian a run for the front row on a new set, which would have been fun, but I’m happy to be starting fourth. It’s my best INDYCAR starting position and it’s nice to be in the Firestone Fast 6 again. We’ve had a few rough weekends, and things are really turning around. We’ve got some new faces on the No. 6 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren Chevrolet crew, and it’s all working well. We’ve got young people that are hungry for it, along with experienced, proven faces, so obviously excited for the rest of the year.”
Christian Lundgaard in the No.7 VELO Chevrolet starts the race from second.
The last few races, we’ve tried to think about the long game and try to be focused on a better tire strategy going into the race. I think this weekend, we felt we didn’t need to do that, so we knew that could go for it. It wasn’t quite enough. That No. 10 car seems to be too strong. We’ve got two cars in the top four tomorrow, so time to execute and go for the win.”
Pato O’Ward in the No.5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet starts the race from 15th and speaking following the action he said:
We’ve had a really fast car all weekend. Gapping issues in Q1 kept us from advancing. It’s a shame because we had the pace, so now we get to have fun from the back tomorrow.”
