| Chevrolet at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Chevrolet-powered drivers have made 254 starts across 27 races since 1980 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, with 167 of those coming since the introduction of the 2.2L Twin-Turbo V6 in 2012. Eight drivers representing five teams have won a dozen races at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course while powered by Chevrolet. Emerson Fittipaldi leads all Team Chevy drivers with three wins, while Michael Andretti and current Team Penske driver Josef Newgarden have a pair each. Team Penske’s seven wins lead all Chevrolet-powered teams. Team Chevy’s thirteen poles on the 2.258-Mile, 13-Turn Mid-Ohio road course lead all manufacturers. Nine drivers representing five teams have won poles at the Lexington, Ohio, road course, with Will Power (4) and Team Penske (7) leading the way. A driver wearing a Chevrolet Bowtie has stood on the podium 34 times, including current Team Chevy drivers Josef Newgarden (3), Christian Lundgaard (1), Scott McLaughlin (1), and Pato O’Ward (1). Chevrolet-powered cars have led 1034 laps at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, with Team Penske’s 573 laps led, the best of the nine teams that have had drivers lead at least one lap. Chevrolet-powered drivers and teams hold the overall and race-track records at the historic track in Lexington, Ohio. Simon Pagenaud’s (Team Penske) lap of 63.8700 seconds (127.271mph) set during qualifying for the 2016 is the best overall lap.

 Christian Rasmussen and the No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet gets the checkered flag at Road America a couple of weeks agoRoad Course Ringer Part 2Lundgaard’s stellar form on natural terrain courses continued last time the NTT INDYCAR SERIES was on track at Road America. The 24-year-old found himself in last place after a first-lap incident, and utilized a combination of Team Chevy power, fuel mileage, great strategy from his team, and a little luck to make his second trip to victory lane in 2026. Lundgaard’s win gives him an average finish of 1.33 on natural terrain course, allowing him to score 25 more points across the trio of races at Barber Motorsports Park, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course, and Road America. Since joining Arrow McLaren in 2025, the Danish driver has stood on the podium at eight of the ten races held on natural terrain road courses, including a third-place finish at this week’s stop on the calendar, the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Lundgaard, who has scored the most points in the three races (Streets Of Detroit, World Wide Technology Raceway At Gateway and Road America) since the Indianapolis 500 in May, is currently fourth in the season-long standings, less than 20 points out of third place. “Obviously, super pleased with the result at Road America,” said Lundgaard. “We certainly proved that we can maneuver through the field and overcome adversity. We have finished P1 or P2 at every road course this year, so I’m excited to get back on another one at Mid-Ohio. We’ll be focused on qualifying better and giving ourselves an easier path to the top of the podium.” Lundgaard’s average starting position at the first three natural terrain road course races stands at 8.7, and across the first ten races of the season, he’s gained 44 positions, tied for the most of any driver. Lundgaard has completed all 1300 laps contest thus far in 2026, one of only three drivers still batting a thousand. Arrow McLaren has had recent success at the 2.258-Mile, 13-Turn Mid-Ohio road course. In addition to Lundgaard’s podium last year, Pato O’Ward won the first race of the hybrid era at the track in 2024, along with starting from the pole in 2022 Tune-In Guide Friday, July 3 NTT INDYCAR SERIES Practice #1 – 3pm (ET)/2pm (CT)/1pm (MT)/noon (PT) – FS1/INDYCAR Radio Network/SIRIUSXM 218 Saturday, July 4 NTT INDYCAR SERIES Practice #2 – 10am (ET)/9am (CT)/8am (MT)/7am (PT) – FS1/INDYCAR Radio Network/SIRIUSXM 218NTT INDYCAR SERIES Qualifying – 2:30pm (ET)/1pm (CT)/noon (MT)/11am (PT) – FS1/INDYCAR Radio Network/SIRIUSXM 218 Sunday, July 5 NTT INDYCAR SERIES Warm Up – 9am (ET)/8am (CT)/7am (MT)/6am (PT) – FS1/INDYCAR Radio Network/SIRIUSXM 218Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio (90 laps)– 12:30pm (ET)/11:30:am (CT)/10:30am (MT)/9:30am (PT) – FOX/INDYCAR Radio Network/SIRIUSXM 218  |
