Zak Brown teased a new Arrow McLaren signing for the Indy 500 after the IndyCar race at the Detroit GP. The Papaya IndyCar Team Boss, Tony Kanaan, recently came out and set high expectations for Brown's Indy 500 signing, as the Brazilian refused to reveal who the signing is.Kyle Larson attempted the double, i.e., the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 for the second time this year, and came out after the race, suggesting he would not attempt the double in the foreseeable future. Arrow McLaren, which entered four entries in the Indy 500, was then left with the task of finding a driver to replace Larson for the 2026 Indy 500.Amid this, Zak Brown came out recently and dropped cryptic hints about the driver. The McLaren CEO said (as shared by Indy Star reporter Nathan Brown),“We've got a trick up our sleeves, and it would be so cool if it happens. This one would be unreal.”Further speaking about the same at the Indy Toronto, Brown added“It would be mega.”At the recent F1 race at the Hungaroring, as Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri secured another 1-2 for the team, Zak Brown was asked about the Indy 500 signing, to which he replied,“It would be nice to get it done.”Arrow McLaren Team Principal Tony Kanaan was questioned about this driver in the recent episode of The Race IndyCar podcast. The Brazilian was questioned if he could reveal or give a hint at who the driver being mentioned, Zak Brown, is, to which he replied,“Listen, if you want me to do another podcast with you, I might as well keep it quiet. Otherwise, we're going to do it by why I lost my job. To be fair, we have a couple options.” (26:24 onwards)“The option that Zak’s mentioning, I think if we can pull it off, it's only because…” Kanaan continued, “Zak is a guy that can make it happen, one. second, if you're ever going to sit down with Zak to negotiate anything, just be prepared that you're not. He's going to get the best out of you and you're going to think to me the best deal of your life. And he's pretty good in winding people up in a good way.”Zak Brown reacts to FOX acquiring a third of IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway FOX took over the exclusive broadcasting rights for IndyCar ahead of the 2025 season.
