Most people know Ryan Hunter-Reay as 'Captain America', an Indianapolis 500 winner and the ONLY INDYCAR driver to win the championship in the modern era that didn’t drive for Team Penske or Chip Ganassi Racing. But what most people don’t know is that for Ryan, achieving his dream felt nearly impossible. Early days, he found himself broke and out of a job. Even when he found an IndyCar seat, holding on was a challenge, with sponsor issues and team changes haunting him until he found his footing at Andretti. That’s when things started to click. Fast-forward to 2026, Arrow McLaren IndyCar picked him up for their fourth car in the 500 and promoted him to sporting director shortly after. Now the question is bigger: Is Ryan McLaren's missing link? Is he what Zak Brown and Tony Kanaan have been missing to not only win the Indy 500 in the modern era, but to also secure an IndyCar championship and put McLaren just one step short of ruling three major series: Formula 1, IndyCar, and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC)?
