At least as far as NTT INDYCAR SERIES practices have gone so far at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Arrow McLaren has taken the speed baton from Andretti Global.

Whereas teammates Will Power and Kyle Kirkwood had the fastest laps in Friday’s session, Arrow McLaren put Christian Lundgaard on top of the chart in Saturday morning’s practice. The next chance to settle the score comes at 2:30 p.m. ET when qualifying for the NTT P1 Award is staged.

Kirkwood and Power were third and ninth, respectively, in the weekend's second practice. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing's Louis Foster was second.

In qualifying, the field will be set for Sunday’s The Honda Indy 200 Presented by the 2027 CR-V Hybrid, a 90-lap race that will be the series’ 11th event (of 18) this season.

While Andretti Global and Arrow McLaren have paced the two practices, both will be looking to derail Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou in qualifying. The reigning series champion and current points leader has won the past five poles in races this season.

Lundgaard and Palou have been the dominant drivers on permanent road courses this season. Lundgaard has won the past two and finished second to Palou in the other.

Lundgaard said his No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet will only need a few tweaks in advance of qualifying. His lap in this practice was 1 minute, 5.2158 seconds.

“I will definitely say we found some issues in balance that we didn’t have yesterday,” he said. “I think the tires were overheating yesterday. But yeah, we’re in a good spot. We were going in one direction (with chassis setup) and I feel the speed’s in the car. It’s really about optimizing from here and fine-tuning. And, getting those little things that drivers really want.”
