INDIANAPOLIS — McLaren Racing has announced a multi-year extension to its long-standing partnership with Lucas Oil, continuing as an Official Partner of the Arrow McLaren team in the NTT IndyCar Series.
Lucas Oil has been a partner of the Arrow McLaren team for nearly 20 years, originally beginning its relationship with Sam Schmidt Motorsports in 2004.
At the season opener — the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 3-5 — Lucas Oil branding will continue to be represented on all three Arrow McLaren Chevrolets, as well as on the driver suits of Pato O’Ward, Felix Rosenqvist and Alexander Rossi for the remaining season and beyond.
“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Lucas Oil, a long-standing partner that has been with the team for nearly two decades. Through growth and changes, their support has been integral for our team. We look forward to continuing our journey as we scale up Arrow McLaren’s presence to a three-car entry into the NTT IndyCar Series,” said Matt Dennington, executive director of Partnerships and Accelerator at McLaren Racing.
Arrow McLaren’s team owner Sam Schmidt added, “Lucas Oil has been a champion of our team for nearly 20 years and through many team changes. The relationship with Lucas Oil has been incredibly important for the team; they’ve been an Indy 500 partner for us every year since 2004. A partnership of this length is certainly special, and to think back on how it’s evolved over the years is a testament to their support and the quality we place on the partnerships we have as a team.”
