Arrow McLaren will continue to use Chevrolet engines under a multiyear extension announced October 6, 2026, the team said in a release published by IndyCar.

The agreement comes as the NTT INDYCAR SERIES prepares for the Dallara IR-28 chassis, which is set to debut in competition in 2028.

Partnership looks ahead to 2028

The IR-28 is planned to bring changes to the car’s aerodynamic architecture, power-to-weight ratio, wing packages and safety systems. IndyCar’s announcement said early manufacturer involvement is important to the development work.

Arrow McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said the Chevrolet relationship was important to the team’s aims of winning the IndyCar championship and the Indianapolis 500. He also pointed to the work ahead on the 2028 chassis.

Record of shared results

Since McLaren Racing entered the series full time in 2020, the collaboration has recorded 14 Chevrolet-powered wins, 54 podiums and 13 NTT P1 Awards, according to the IndyCar announcement. Chevrolet also won the manufacturers’ championship in three consecutive seasons from 2022 through 2024.

General Motors vice president of global motorsports competition Eric Warren described Arrow McLaren as an important part of Chevrolet’s IndyCar program and said engineering collaboration would matter as the series develops its next-generation car and powertrain.

Driver lineup set to change in 2027

The announcement also said team veteran Pato O’Ward would welcome Scott Dixon and Felix Rosenqvist to Arrow McLaren’s three-driver lineup starting in 2027. Dixon is a six-time series champion, while Rosenqvist won the 2026 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge.
