Pato O’Ward won his first race at Texas Motor Speedway in 2021. He currently sits as the second-best driver in the IndyCar series behind Sweden’s Marcus...
“People started recognizing my name a lot more, following me more, and everything started to grow and grow for me,” said O’Ward, who was 6 years old when he drove a go-kart for the first time.In 2014, he competed in the French F4 Championship. In 2015, O’Ward debuted in the Pro Mazda Championship with Team Pelfrey, driving in the series at just 16 years of age.
In 2019, the Mexican driver was scheduled to debut in the IndyCar Series driving for Harding Steinbrenner Racing.In 2020, O’Ward received his big break in the IndyCar Series when he was signed by the Arrow McLaren team and his 2021 win at Texas Motor Speedway led him to become the first Mexican driver to win a race in that category since Adrián Fernández in 2004.
Arrow McLaren driver Pato O'Ward leads Huski Chocolate Chip Ganassi driver Marcus Ericsson as they steer through Turn 1 during the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg auto race Sunday, March 5, 2023, in St. Petersburg, Fla. O’Ward’s strong performances on the track have led to an ever-growing following among Mexican fans.In addition, the presence of people originally from Monterrey who live permanently in North Texas is strong so O’Ward expects a large group of Mexicans in the seats Sunday.
“Pato is incredibly talented. He’s one of the fastest drivers I’ve seen in the series and I have no doubt that one day he will be the champion of the category.”
