## Resource

Pato O’Ward finally broke his win drought with a dominant victory at Mid-Ohio, outdueling teammate Christian Lundgaard and leading from lap 42 onward — marking Arrow McLaren’s first one-two finish in IndyCar. O’Ward called it a perfect execution after a tough season, while Kyle Kirkwood grabbed third to chip away at Palou’s championship lead. With 7 races left, Palou still holds a 56-point cushion, but the battle’s far from over — and O’Ward’s momentum could be just what the championship needs. Next up: Nashville Superspeedway.
