Kyle Kirkwood is bringing experience and renewed expectations to his sophomore NTT INDYCAR SERIES season as the driver of the No. “There’s a ton and a lot of it is understanding the race strategy,” the 24-year-old Kirkwood said. “That was the most difficult thing for me to start to understand; understanding where you’re at, who you’re actually racing (against).”. Kirkwood comes into this year with 17 series races under his belt and joins an organization that visited victory lane twice in 2022. “For me, coming up, literally, from the start of my racing career, I’ve always had expectations to go out and try to win races,” Kirkwood said. That was one of the most difficult to me to understand because if you look back through my car career and through my karting and stuff, I’ve probably won close to 40 percent of races per season.
