Juan Pablo Montoya to return to Indy 500 for first time since 2017

INDIANAPOLIS -- Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya will return to the iconic event next year driving for Arrow McLaren SP.

Montoya last raced the Indy 500 in 2017. The Colombian won "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" as a rookie in 2000 and again 15 years later to give him a pair of victories in five career Indy 500 starts.

The Wednesday announcement that he'll drive a third entry for Arrow McLaren reunites Montoya with McLaren, the team for which he drove in Formula One in 2005 and 2006.

"I'm very excited to be joining Arrow McLaren SP for the Indianapolis 500," Montoya said.
