Tony Kanaan's Arrow McLaren drivers excited ahead of 'cool' Thermal Club weekend

While Tony Kanaan recently shared his 2004 heroics from Texas, he has got the 2025 Thermal Club Grand Prix weekend to look forward to as Arrow McLaren's team principal.

Moreover, in relation to the fast-approaching three-day event, the outfit's star driver, Pato O'Ward has given his take on it. The 25-year-old has even asserted that he is excited about hitting the 'cool' Thermal Club race track.

In line with this, O'Ward via Arrow McLaren's official page said:

"It's going to be cool going back to Thermal for the first-ever points race at this track. It's a unique and, honestly, fun place to drive, so I'm looking forward to racing there. We learned a lot from testing there the last two years, so hopefully we should be competitive this weekend. I think we've got to nail qualifying to have a shot, but I'm confident that we've put together a package that will put us near the front."

Nolan Siegel also shared his excitement for the race, saying that he is looking forward to "[getting] back out there and fight for a solid result".

Tony Kanaan's team had a pretty up-and-down outing at the first race of the ongoing 2025 season, the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Christian Lundgaard was the highest finisher on the team as he secured an eighth-place finish.

Pato O'Ward, on his end, was only able to secure P11 whereas, the 20-year-old Nolan Siegel ended his 100-lap St. Pete outing toward the extreme south end of the standings in P25. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, the upcoming Sunday's Thermal Club Grand Prix will be O'Ward and Siegel's chance to have a strong outing. Lundgaard would look to further build on his St. Pete P8 finish.
