Biography
Patricio O'Ward won the Indy Lights championship in 2018 before a brief, interrupted first attempt at IndyCar. He landed at Arrow McLaren in 2020 and has not stopped since -- winning nine career races, finishing runner-up in the championship, and building one of the largest followings in American open-wheel racing. Born in Monterrey, Mexico, O'Ward is one of the most complete drivers on the IndyCar grid and one of the strongest arguments that the Road to Indy works.
