Callum Ilott qualified 15th for his third Indianapolis 500 and finished a career-best 11th for Arrow McLaren, despite facing challenges with his No. 6 Chevy during the race. Ilott experienced weight jacker issues that caused understeer and required multiple adjustments, including a steering wheel change that didn’t solve the problem. He managed to catch up to the pack and deal with a multi-car crash on the first lap, narrowly avoiding further damage to his car. Throughout the race, adjustments were made to counter the understeer, eventually leading to a more competitive car that allowed him to move up in the field. Unfortunately, a pit lane incident with Kyle Kirkwood affected his race position and resulted in both drivers losing ground. Despite the setbacks, Ilott showed resilience and fought his way through the challenges at the Indianapolis 500.
