Arrow McLaren has made significant changes and additions to its staff following the IndyCar season finale at Nashville Speedway, aiming to secure its first NTT IndyCar Series championship. Despite winning three races with Pato O’Ward and having competitive performances, the team was not in title contention. To bridge this gap, team principal Gavin Ward has implemented sweeping changes for 2025, including elevating Tony Kanaan to deputy team principal to streamline responsibilities and boost performance. Ward’s focus on utilizing his strengths in race engineering and team culture, combined with Kanaan’s experience and connections, is expected to enhance the team’s success on and off the track. The addition of Brad O’Brien as VP of finance and business, along with the promotion of Lauren Gaudion to VP of marketing and communications, further strengthens the team’s executive group and allows Ward to have a more direct impact on Arrow McLaren’s performance in upcoming races.
