The 24-year-old Florida native's win earlier this year at Long Beach is one he'll 'cherish' for rest of his life.
The past year has been a whirlwind for second-year NTT IndyCar Series driver Kyle Kirkwood.
Now, some 15 years later, the 24-year-old Kirkwood will be lining up his No. 27 AutoNation Honda for Andretti Autosport on the outside of Row 5—three rows behind Dixon—for the 107th Indianapolis 500 on May 28. "A lot of people will tell you you're you're only as good as your last race, and the last race we finished 14th," Kirkwood told. "So right now we're still striving for greatness, even though we've gotten that win. We have to continue to do it because if we don't, there's other guys that will.
In 2023, Kirkwood is flipping the script, and he comes into the Indianapolis 500 sitting 10th in the season standings and with a car he feels can run with the leaders on the biggest stage. In a strange twist, he's tied in season points with Rossi, the driver he replaced who is now with Arrow McLaren.
