Nolan Siegel, a 19-year-old from California, has landed a significant opportunity with Arrow McLaren, signing a multi-year deal. He is set to drive the No. 6 Chevy car, filling a high-profile opening on the grid. Siegel’s journey to McLaren involved ending his season with HMD Motorsports Indy NXT team and forgoing a shot at winning the NXT title to join Pato O’Ward and Alexander Rossi at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. His performance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Le Mans debut in LMP2 impressed McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown and co-owner Richard Dean, leading to Siegel’s full endorsement from Dean as a promising talent for IndyCar. Siegel’s unexpected transition to Arrow McLaren came after discussions following his substitution for Agustin Canapino at Road America and an accelerated contract signing to secure the No. 6 car for the remainder of the season and beyond, marking a strategic move towards stability and growth for the team.
