<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe nature of\u00a0IndyCar is that there’s highs and lows all the time, and I’ve had my fair share of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pato O\u2019Ward has certainly been on one helluva rollercoaster ride. There have been breakthrough moments, such as his first career win at Texas Motor Speedway in 2021, along with several heartbreaks, undoubtedly led by his defeat after battling with Josef Newgarden for the win in the 2024 Indianapolis 500.<\/p>\n

Through it all, though,\u00a0O\u2019Ward has never been alone.<\/p>\n

When the Mexican joined Arrow\u00a0McLaren in 2020, he was paired with race engineer Will Anderson and strategist Nick Snyder. The trio have been together ever since, with every moment of joy and pain shared in what has forged a brotherhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way we complement each other is really good,\u201d Snyder told\u00a0Motorsport.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill is a great psychologist with\u00a0Pato, understands how his mind works, how to work with him when he’s driving on track. Everybody’s got their ups and downs. If Pato’s really down, Will can get him back up. If you get overexcited, you bring him back down. We just sort of maintain that calm level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got the ability to sort of do the driving, do the driver psychology, do the technical side, the three of us just form that trio, it works together pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n

That view by Snyder, who also serves as Performance Director for Arrow McLaren, is supported by nine wins, 32 podiums, 52 top fives, 70 top 10s and seven poles in 104 starts together.<\/p>\n

For his part, Anderson shared that his own history growing up racing go-karts has helped with the process and understanding how to talk with\u00a0O\u2019Ward.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s something that we’ve worked very hard on as a group, is that area of just how we communicate with\u00a0Pato,\u201d Anderson told Motorsport.com. \u201cPato and I have worked together outside the track to understand each other and make sure that we’re on the same page. If he’s frustrated, I can try to do some cues to hopefully bring him down.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Ward was the last piece to the puzzle, with Snyder initially joining the team in 2011 when it was under the Sam Schmidt Motorsports banner. Anderson came onboard a couple of years later.<\/p>\n

The relationship has grown over the years, with\u00a0O\u2019Ward hosting dinners for Anderson, Snyder, and the rest of the team. O\u2019Ward shared how Anderson prefers solitude over being around people, but will pester him anyways.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love picking at him because I know he sometimes gets uncomfortable,\u201d\u00a0O\u2019Ward said. \u201cSo that’s my favorite part of Will. Sadly, he doesn’t get that uncomfortable anymore.\u201d And that\u2019s easier with Snyder, who O\u2019Ward says is more outgoing, \u201cafter a few beers.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the more underrated advantages with the three being together so long is being able to retrace previous moments that can be applied instantly when dissecting a current problem.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I go back to referencing 2022 or 2023 or whatever, they know as good as I do of how, either how that felt or what we did, what worked, what didn’t work,\u201d\u00a0O\u2019Ward told Motorsport.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, every lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, regardless of it being just this year or the years prior, it’s knowledge. It’s free lap time at the end of the day. Whether it actually translates to speed sometimes, no. But in terms of experience, that will translate to opportunity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old\u00a0O\u2019Ward pointed out the value of that in preparing for the Indianapolis 500, a race he has two runner-ups, and two additional top four finishes in six starts. He will start sixth for Sunday\u2019s 110th Running of \u201cThe Greatest Spectacle in Racing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, around this place, it’s safe to say, if I were to pick one place in my career that’s had such highs and such lows, it would be here,\u201d\u00a0O\u2019Ward said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the lows here are very low. Even if it’s just a second place as well. Just because the result was still good, doesn’t mean it’s not a low, right? Here, the reality is the only thing that matters is when you win. And Nick and Will have been a big part of my whole journey here. So, to me, it feels good and I’m happy to be able to share this amazing journey with them. But also, keep fighting. Keep fighting for that, what we’re looking for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Pato <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n

Through the tough defeats at the Indy 500, Anderson has tried to keep things in perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we all have a very good mindset,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cYeah, we finished second a couple of times. Would have loved for those to be wins, but we still get to play race cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt stings when you finish second for such a big race and you want to do better. And I think that’s kind of the approach we’ve taken. I don’t think any of us have really been sulked about it. There’s the moment after the race where it stings and you’re like, \u2018This sucks.\u2019 And then you get on with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With that, though, Anderson recalled the \u201cdemoralizing\u201d finish to the 2024 Indy 500, when\u00a0O\u2019Ward took the lead on the final lap from Newgarden going into Turn 1, only to get passed in Turn 3. The result left O\u2019Ward emerging from his #5 Chevrolet in tears, with the crushing result felt together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat night and the day or so after, I’m going to be honest, I just left him alone,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cI was like, \u2018You have your time. You have your space.\u2019 And then maybe Tuesday or Wednesday for Detroit, just got back at it. Look, Indy’s a very special place, but we didn’t win that year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was demoralizing in that moment. \u2026 It really sucked. I know\u00a0Pato felt it. You saw him after the race. We all felt it. I kept my sunglasses on. They were on and down. Couldn’t see my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

But refusing to allow the emotions to linger for too long, Anderson shifts the mindset.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was, \u2018Hey, we need to get better at Indy,\u2019 Anderson said. \u201cWe were very close. A turn or two away. How do we fix that for next year? What can we try to make better for next year to be in a better situation? On to Detroit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Pato <\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n

Snyder also drew back memories of the pain from that particular Indy 500, but, like Anderson, tries to take away the positives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s good, because it’s a kick in the nuts when you don’t win, but the fact we’ve got so many good results, it shows we’re doing a lot of stuff right,\u201d Snyder said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re not going in here and totally screwing it up every year. We’ve got the building blocks that we need to win this race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIndy chooses its winner every year, and it hasn’t chosen us yet. I hope it does this year, but we’re not gonna blow it up and rebuild every time we don’t win. We’re going to keep what we did right and just incrementally try to make it better next time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

After being collected in a crash with Alexander\u00a0Rossi in last Monday\u2019s post-qualifying practice, O\u2019Ward was forced to move to a backup car for Sunday\u2019s race. The new challenger, though, went to Victory Lane at Iowa Speedway and Streets of Toronto last year, as well as sat on the pole in the season-finale at Nashville Superspeedway.<\/p>\n

Despite the setback,\u00a0O\u2019Ward\u2019s confidence has remained steady, with full faith in his team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis car, I’ve had a past with this car, a good past with this car,\u201d\u00a0O\u2019Ward said. \u201cI’m not worried. It’s been a great car to me. It’s been a great car for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

And if they can take the fight to the Field of 33 and cross the famous Yard of Bricks first after 500 miles on Sunday, the party might go well into Detroit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be pretty insane,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cIt’ll be pretty cool, especially with\u00a0Pato, a very outgoing person. And then just all of Pato’s fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think all the people at the Speedway would appreciate seeing\u00a0Pato win here. They’ve gotten to see the maybe softer side of Pato with the second place finishes. And it seems like a lot of people, even if they aren’t a Pato fan naturally, would appreciate a Pato O\u2019Ward win at the Speedway. Just what he’s done here, what he’s tried to give, and how much he enjoys this place.\u201d<\/p>\n
