Kyle Kirkwood stood out in the season dominated by Alex Palou, being the only other driver to win races, triumphing in Long Beach and Detroit. However, he faced pressure to continue excelling, given the limited street course events on the IndyCar calendar.
Kirkwood secured another victory at the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 at World Wide Technology Raceway, adding an oval win to his accomplishments.
Reflecting on his recent wins, Kirkwood emphasized the significance of diversifying his victories, highlighting the importance of performing well across various circuits in the championship race.
Despite a previous point gap behind Palou, Kirkwood has significantly closed the distance in the standings, now trailing the leader by 75 points and positioning himself as a championship contender.
Looking ahead, Kirkwood remains focused on maintaining consistency and aiming for more wins to secure a strong position in the championship standings.
