Zak Brown Having Trouble Tracking Indycar Decisions after Toronto, Asks "What was Theo Doing There? I Thought We Fired Him?"
July 25, 2024

"...due to already have a seat with the shape of his ass, Pourchaire was contacted for the drive."

TORONTO—Arrow McLaren's CEO Zak Brown found himself baffled by changes. The confusion began when Alexander Rossi, a key driver for the team, broke his thumb, prompting a last-minute replacement.


"What is Theo doing here? I thought we fired him?" exclaimed a lost Brown upon seeing Theo Pourchaire at the Toronto paddock. Pourchaire, who had been replaced by Nolan Siegel prior to the Laguna Seca race, was unexpectedly flown in to take Rossi's place.


Pourchaire, who had been in France watering his garden with his tears after being let go from the team, was just happy to have the opportunity to race again. "Everyone told me to say no but I was thrilled," said Theo. "Honestly, I didn’t expect to be racing in Toronto, but I’m just happy to be out of France."


The mix-up originated within the team’s management. With Siegel officially replacing Pourchaire, he never expected to return to North America again. However, due to already have a seat with the shape of his ass, Pourchaire was contacted for the drive.


"I stayed in my trailer the whole time," explained Siegel. "It's so awkward man, it's like hanging out with your girlfriend's ex. And the ex even FORGOT him!"


The presence of Pourchaire left Brown scrambling to make sense of the situation. "Our priority is to have a smooth and successful race weekend," said Brown, attempting to show he is in fact completely aware of what is going on. "We need to ensure Pourchaire is ready to go for the…. rest of the season? How long is he here for?"


As Arrow McLaren looks ahead, the team should probably make an excel spreadsheet or something to keep track of all the changes. For now, though, the focus remains on supporting their drivers, even the ones that are coming back for one racing after being fired.
