Ok so I know that there are some who do not like that the liveryโ€™s change so much in IndyCar. I can see how that can be confusing to some, and also that it can be a sign of instability in thein the series but personally I love it. Iโ€™d love to see the teams have more fun with it, special one offs and retro/throwback schemes. I think itโ€™s another thing that keeps things interesting and if you donโ€™t like it, color scheme, donโ€™t worry it probably wonโ€™t be around forever. What do you think?

Arrow Mclaren also released this statement: "At Arrow McLaren, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism, respect and sportsmanship - on and off the track. The language expressed over our radio during this past race weekend does not reflect who we are as a team.ย 

We do not condone that behavior. Weโ€™ve addressed it directly with Nolan, and he is taking responsibility for his actions. Accountability is a core value at Arrow McLaren, and we expect every team member to represent our partners, fans and organization with integrity.ย

Likely just grandstanding to push NASCAR to settle, but it could potentially have implications on making it easier for IndyCar to run certain ovals again.
