Fox News
Kyle Kirkwood started the Grand Prix of Long Beach on the pole and finished in Victory Lane on Sunday. It was his first career IndyCar victory.
"I am over the moon," said Kirkwood, who blinked back tears.
He was challenged mid-race by defending Long Beach winner Josef Newgarden, but reclaimed the lead when the Team Penske driver pitted for new tires. Kirkwood stayed out for a handful more laps and was able to make his stop for tires and get back on track before Newgarden could reclaim the lead.
