Overview

  • The INDYCAR Medical Team ruled Siegel unfit to race after his heavy crash on lap 248 at Iowa Speedway damaged a SAFER Barrier and triggered a red flag.
  • Arrow McLaren confirmed it would not install a substitute driver in the No. 6 Chevrolet, reducing the Farm To Finish 275 field to 26 cars.
  • Team principal Tony Kanaan emphasized that ensuring Siegel’s fitness outweighed the risks of a rushed lineup change with the Toronto race looming.
  • Siegel said missing the race from a season-best P5 start was disappointing and thanked the INDYCAR Medical Team and his crew for their support.
  • Arrow McLaren will continue evaluating Siegel’s condition and develop contingency options in case he remains sidelined for next week’s Toronto event.
