O’Ward broke through for his first career NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet, winning the XPEL 375 on Sunday evening at Texas Motor Speedway. O’Ward, who started fourth, passed two-time series champion Josef Newgarden with 24 laps remaining in the 248-lap race and pulled away to a 1.2443-second victory over Newgarden’s No. 2 XPEL Team Penske Chevrolet.
上周日德克萨斯的夜幕下,奥沃德驾驶着他的五号麦克拉伦-雪佛兰赛车迎来了职业生涯的大突破。第四起步的奥沃德在比赛还剩24圈时,一举超过了两届总冠军约瑟夫·纽加顿的二号雪佛兰赛车,并在248圈的比赛结束时拉开了1.2秒的优势。

“Finally!” O’Ward said. “That was long race, but we had so much pace in the Arrow McLaren SP No. 5. We got the job done today, man. It’s Texas. It’s very close to my heart. Many Mexicans were out there in the grandstands, so thank you guys so much.”
“终于!”奥沃德说道,“这比赛可够长的,但我的麦克拉伦速度很棒。伙计,今天我们做到了!这里是德克萨斯,最爱的故乡就离这不远,我爱这里。我看到主看台上有不少墨西哥车迷,实在是太感谢你们了。”

O’Ward became the first Mexican winner of an INDYCAR SERIES race since Adrian Fernandez in 2004 on the 2-mile oval at Auto Club Speedway. This also was McLaren’s first win in INDYCAR since April 22, 1979, when Johnny Rutherford swept a doubleheader at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
奥沃德成为继2004年的阿德里安·费尔南德斯后第一位夺得分站冠军的墨西哥车手,后者在04赛季中,于汽车俱乐部2英里的椭圆赛道上问鼎。这也是麦克拉伦自1979年4月22号以来再次品尝到胜利的滋味,想当年还是强尼·卢瑟福在亚特兰大的双回合中为麦克拉伦横扫赛场。

Graham Rahal finished third in the No. 15 Fleet Cost & Care Honda. Six-time series champion Scott Dixon, winner of the Genesys 300 on Saturday night, finished fourth after starting from the pole in the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. Dixon kept the series points lead. O’Ward jumped to second in the standings, 22 behind.
格拉汉姆·雷哈尔驾驶着他的15号本田赛车占据了最后一个领奖台席位。周六300英里比赛的胜者,六届冠军斯科特·迪克森排在第四位,杆位起步的他也算是守住了积分榜头名。奥沃德则一举跃升至积分榜第二,仅落后迪克森22分。

“Huge congrats to Pato,” Dixon said. “I was watching from back a few spots there, and what he did there at the end was a tremendous drive, especially against one of the best guys in the field.”
“由衷地祝贺帕托(奥沃德),”迪克森说,“我就在他身后不远处,比赛末段他的表现太出色了,尤其是他面对的是场上的最佳车手之一(纽加顿),他的驾驶无可挑剔。”

The series shifts to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the next two races. The GMR Grand Prix is scheduled for Saturday, May 15 on the IMS road course, with the 105th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge set for Sunday, May 30 on the Brickyard’s world-famous oval.
首次三连赛结束后,赛事将在休整一周后迎来“印第安纳波利斯月”。5.15将率先在印地内场赛道先赛一场,接着是印地500的排位周。最后,5.30车手们将在著名的“砖场”椭圆赛道迎来第105届印地500大赛。
