Arrow McLaren SP is announcing a new multi-year partnership with Expand Machinery. As an associate partner of Arrow McLaren SP, the Expand Machinery branding will be featured on both the No. 5 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet piloted by Pato O’Ward and the No. 7 Vuse Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet piloted by Felix Rosenqvist during the 2021 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. 

Arrow McLaren SP represents three determined entities – Arrow Electronics, McLaren Racing and Schmidt Peterson Motorsports – who joined forces at the end of 2019 in a strategic partnership with a clear aim: to compete for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship and the Indianapolis 500. 

The team secured two race wins during a successful 2020 campaign, alongside three pole positions and five podium finishes. Those strong results saw the team finish third in the driver’s championship in 2020 with Pato O’Ward, taking the fight down to the final race of the season in Long Beach.

Arrow McLaren SP is continuously looking to move forward in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES not just on the track but off. The team is committed to pushing the envelope on engineering and development to reach the highest performance possible. Our partnership with Expand Machinery allows us to achieve that goal with top-line machinery in house. They are a great part of the team.
