Arrow McLaren expands IndyCar operations with new Indianapolis facility

Arrow McLaren has officially acquired a larger facility in Indianapolis as part of its ongoing commitment to growth within the NTT IndyCar Series.

The team announced it has taken ownership of a new building, located at 7615 Zionsville Road in Indianapolis, and has already begun extensive renovations aimed at modernizing and expanding the space. According to the team, this move marks a significant milestone in Arrow McLaren’s long-term development strategy.

The new site will expand its footprint from 74,000 to 86,000 square feet — a major upgrade from the team’s current 33,000-square-foot race shop on Coffman Road, located just a few miles away.

This nearly threefold increase in space is expected to dramatically improve workflow, daily operations, and overall efficiency as the team continues scaling up its IndyCar efforts.

Renovation work is being led by Dillon Construction Group, the original builders of the facility. The redesign has been carefully planned to include state-of-the-art equipment, flexible workspaces, and cutting-edge technology. Among the most notable additions are a second-floor mezzanine, a premier fitness center, and a new elevator to enhance accessibility throughout the building.

The front lobby will also undergo a complete transformation, designed to highlight Arrow McLaren’s racing heritage and growing list of accomplishments in North America’s premier open-wheel championship.

Externally, the facility will be refreshed with new paint, added architectural features, and new windows to reflect McLaren Racing’s brand identity.

“We’re proud to begin the renovation and grow our footprint right here in Indianapolis.” said Zak Brown, CEO of McLaren Racing. “The investment is a big step in our long-term growth, and this new facility will provide our team with state-of-the-art tools, equipment and space to keep pushing forward.”

In 2020, McLaren Racing partnered with Arrow Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, later acquiring a majority stake in 2021 and securing full ownership ahead of the 2025 season.

The team has operated as a three-car entry since 2023, currently fielding Pato O'Ward, Christian Lundgaard, and Nolan Siegel. It also ran a fourth car for Kyle Larson in the last two editions of the Indianapolis 500.

O’Ward has won two of the last three IndyCar races (Race 1 at Iowa and last Sunday’s event in Toronto) and currently sits second in the championship standings, 99 points behind Alex Palou (Chip Ganassi Racing), with four races remaining in the 2025 season.

Arrow McLaren is scheduled to relocate to the upgraded facility in January 2026, just ahead of the start of next year’s IndyCar season.
