Arrow McLaren has made yet another driver change by hiring 19-year-old Nolan Siegel to drive the remainder of the IndyCar season. He will be the third driver to race the No. 6 this year. Siegel will replace F2 champion Theo Pourchaire beginning this weekend at Laguna Seca in California.

Arrow McLaren made yet another driver change Tuesday, June 18, when it signed 19-year-old Nolan Siegel to drive the remainder of the IndyCar season. He will be the third different driver to race the No. 6 this year.

Siegel had hoped to remain eligible for IndyCar rookie of the year as early as next season, but two weeks ago at Road America he was plucked by Juncos Hollinger Racing to be an emergency replacement for Agustín Canapino. Siegel then decided to skip the Indy NXT race, which took him out of contention for that championship this season and ultimately changed the trajectory of his career.

“I’d be lying if I said we haven’t been looking at him for a while,” Ward said. “At the time we put Theo in the car, Nolan was committed to his Indy NXT season. With the clashes there, a full season didn’t look like it was in the cards. Road America brought this forward in a hurry.
