Pato O’Ward leans on Texas roots at Grand Prix
As the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington takes over the entertainment district around AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, one hometown favorite is drawing extra attention: IndyCar and McLaren driver Pato O’Ward. Born in Monterrey and raised in San Antonio, O’Ward earned his first career IndyCar win in Texas and considers Sunday’s race a home event. He says competing in a place he knows so well – from Dallas to San Antonio to Austin – makes the support from Texas fans especially meaningful.
