Arrow McLaren are racing for Bob Jeffrey in this weekend’s IndyCar Series round on the Streets of Toronto
Jeffrey, who served as the spotter for Pato O’Ward on the Chevrolet-powered No. 5 entry the past two seasons, passed away on Thursday after a battle with cancer. He most recently spotted the IndyCar race at Laguna Seca last month, along with the recent test at Nashville Superspeedway. One of the vibrant personalities in the paddock, Jeffrey was well-regarded as one of the best spotters in the industry, with a background that stretched across to NASCAR and IMSA, as well as IndyCar.
He is renowned as one of the greatest spotters in motorsport, having won championships in IndyCar, NASCAR, and IMSA as the ‘eye in the sky’ for a number of first-rate racers, including Tony Stewart, Dale Jarrett and Josef Newgarden. Most of all, Bob will be remembered as a fun-loving family man who always greeted his teammates with a smile. “We miss you, Bob, forever our eye in the sky.” During a media availability on Friday morning, O’Ward shared his thoughts on Jeffrey.
