Arrow McLaren has officially confirmed the renewal of its partnerships with Mission Foods and onsemi, securing their support through the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season. Both partners have maintained a strong relationship with the team over the past several years, and these agreements continue their commitments alongside the wider Arrow McLaren family of sponsors.
Mission Foods’ Involvement and Brand Presence in INDYCAR
Since 2020, Mission Foods has been an Official Partner of the Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team. Recognized globally as the leading brand in tortillas and wraps, Mission Foods is available in over 112 countries. Fans have connected with the brand through the “2Fast2Tasty” campaign featuring Arrow McLaren drivers, as well as various trackside activities and annual driver appearances in supermarkets near the Indianapolis and Long Beach race venues.
Shift in onsemi’s Partnership Role for Upcoming Season
Joining Arrow McLaren in 2023, onsemi has focused on intelligent power and sensing technology for automotive and industrial markets. The company has served as a Primary Partner for the No. 6 onsemi Arrow McLaren Chevrolet during multiple races each season over the last three years. Moving forward, onsemi will transition from a predominantly branding-based partnership to one centered on hospitality, enhancing fan engagement through trackside experiences during select race weekends.
Strong Season Performance and Outlook for 2026
Arrow McLaren delivered an impressive 2025 season in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES, concluding with Pato O’Ward finishing as the championship runner-up and Christian Lundgaard securing fifth place overall. The team achieved two victories, three pole positions, and twelve total podium finishes. The next season will begin on March 1, 2026, at St. Petersburg, Florida, with fans anticipating continued success from the team and its enduring partners.
