Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward in the No.5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet says that Barber Motorsports this weekend is a great opportunity for the team.
The Mexican heads into the weekend in sixth in the championship, 62 points behind leader Alex Palou.
Looking ahead to the action in Barber, O’Ward said:
Barber is one of those tracks I really enjoy – it’s fast, flowing and super physical, which makes it a real fun place to race. You’ve got to be on it every lap. It’s a place we’ve been really strong at before, so this is a great opportunity to kick off May on the right foot. We’re ready to fight and set the tone for what’s to come.”
Christian Lundgaard in the No.7 VELO Chevrolet heads into Barber in third in the championship following a great start to the season and looking ahead to the race he says:
It’s been a strong start to the season, and the momentum we’ve built so far is something I really want to keep pushing forward. Barber is always a challenging track, but it’s one I enjoy. The goal this weekend is to stay consistent, fight at the front and get some valuable points. Every race counts, and we’re focused on making sure we’re in the mix all year long.”
Nolan Siegel in the No.6 NTT DATA Chevrolet is looking forward to getting on track at Barber saying:
We had a really strong test at Barber last month, and that gives us a solid foundation heading into this weekend. The team has been working hard to apply everything we learned, and I’m feeling confident about where we’re at. We haven’t quite put it all together in a race yet this year, so hopefully we can have a complete weekend and fight for some good points.”
Paddock Eye will be catching up with Nolan Siegel ahead of Sunday’s Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park.
