  • Siegel’s on-radio outburst included multiple profanity-laden criticisms of McLaughlin and Team Penske, which aired via his live onboard feed.
  • In a video apology on Instagram, Siegel expressed regret for the incident and said he had respect for his competitors and the series.
  • Arrow McLaren issued an official statement condemning the tirade and said it did not reflect the team’s commitment to professionalism.
  • McLaughlin confirmed on social media that he and Siegel have since cleared the air, although their rivalry traces back to previous clashes between their teams.
