A swarm of bees made their presence felt in a section on pit lane, but it was Arrow McLaren that was buzzing after opening day of on-track action for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES at Texas Motor Speedway. “It’s funny, of the races I’ve finished here, we’ve been pretty good, but unfortunately, I haven’t finished very many of them for a multitude of reasons,” Rossi said. Thankfully from the first race that we’ve had and practice sessions that he’s done, our car that we want is very, very similar to each other. Malukas qualified ninth for Sunday’s race, while Robb ended up 23rd. I think a top 10 for us would be a solid finish, but there’s no doubt in my mind we can show up on Sunday and win this race, 100%. The outcome carried over for some drivers in final practice, particularly defending race winner Josef Newgarden.
