Nolan Siegel will be behind the wheel of his No. 6 Arrow McLaren Chevy on Friday for the Honda Indy Toronto, one day after receiving clearance from the IndyCar medical staff.

Siegel, 20, careened into wall in the first race of a doubleheader at Iowa Speedway last Saturday. He was ruled out for the following day’s race due to a mild concussion.

“Missing out on Sunday’s race in Iowa was definitely tough, especially after qualifying fifth,” Siegel said. “After a week of rest and recovery, I’m looking forward to being back in the car. We’ve got a fresh SmartStop livery to debut, so I’m hoping we can put together a strong result and make it a good one for the whole crew.”

Arrow McLaren confirmed that Siegel will be participating in this weekend’s race.

“Nolan has been cleared by the IndyCar medical team to drive this weekend in Toronto,” Arrow McLaren said. “He will pilot the No. 6 SmartStop Arrow McLaren Chevy in their first primary sponsorship race of the season. He’s en route to Canada now and is expected to be trackside later today.”

Siegel has 156 points, which puts him in 21st place in the standings. He is six ahead of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Louis Foster, with the top 22 receiving bonus payouts at the end of the season.

Linus Lundqvist will be the standby driver in case Siegel can’t race.
