Andretti Global put three drivers into the top four at the finish of the 70-lap street-circuit race around AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, and Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. Kyle Kirkwood took the NTT IndyCar Series championship lead and earned his first victory of the season despite a slow – verging on malpractice – final pit stop by his Andretti Global crew, driving his No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda to victory under caution beating the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda of four-time series champion Palou.
“What an absolutely phenomenal day for our #27 JM Bullion Andretti Global Honda. And hats off to Honda really for a 1-2-3-4 today,” Kirkwood said. “Man, did we have some pace. This JM Bullion Honda, Andretti, all these guys right here, they gave me the tools today. It’s because of this race car we won today, because of teamwork….“One-three-four (finish) for Andretti; we’re just so stacked here. I’m so stoked.”
Will Power placed third in the No. 26 TWG AI Honda for his first podium finish at his new team after 16 full-time seasons at Team Penske at the inaugural Java House Grand Prix at Arlington on Sunday. [he said at the time that Andretti Global was the place to be – AutoCrat] Marcus Ericsson, with his first career pole Saturday, finished fourth in No. 28 InPwr Honda. Pato O’Ward rounded out the top five finishers in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, the highest-placing Chevrolet-power using the mandated Dallara chassis on the long 14-turn, 2.73-mile street race circuit. Honda powered cars led all 70 laps of the race. Click for > Race Results
