Arrow McLaren Re-Signs Chevrolet in Multiyear IndyCar Engine Deal

One part of Arrow McLaren's future is settled. The team announced Tuesday that it has re-signed a multiyear agreement with Chevrolet, which will continue as its IndyCar engine manufacturer. The timing matters: IndyCar is heading into a major technical reset, with the new Dallara IR28 chassis and a 2.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 arriving in 2028, and manufacturer testing on the new package beginning in the coming months. Team principal Tony Kanaan framed the extension as a stabilizing move, saying the relationship with Chevrolet is the strongest it has ever been and that the long-term alignment will let McLaren and Chevrolet engineers collaborate more closely through the period of change. The partnership dates to McLaren's full-time IndyCar return in 2020, and the numbers are strong: 14 wins with Chevrolet — 12 of them from Pato O'Ward — along with 54 podiums and 13 poles over seven seasons. In 2026 the team had the top-finishing Chevrolet in 11 of 18 races, with three wins for O'Ward and two for Christian Lundgaard, who is departing for Chip Ganassi Racing's No. 9 Honda in 2027. Lundgaard's exit is part of a driver overhaul that brings six-time champion Scott Dixon and Indianapolis 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist alongside O'Ward next season.
