McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown sits down with Will Buxton inside the Arrow McLaren strategy trailer at the inaugural D.C. Freedom 250 for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview on INDYCAR, Arrow McLaren, American Motorsports, F1 and World Endurance racing.

Plus, he reflects on the cross-discipline McLaren DNA, the explosive growth of motorsport in America, and what drives his relentless pursuit of victory.
