. KKirkwoodRacing ready to fulfill his potential at FollowAndretti after an incident-filled IndyCar rookie season
Kirkwood won 31 of his 50 races on the Road To Indy, and was champion in USF2000, Indy Pro 2000 and Indy Lights. But when the Michael Andretti/Sauber F1 deal fell apart at the 11hour in 2021, Colton Herta’s planned move to Formula 1 was stymied, he remained in IndyCar, and so Andretti had no room for Kirkwood, his Indy Lights champion.
“I'm so curious to get back in that car and see and know what we were missing. It's something that's kind of been eating me alive through the off-season because you know that's something that Andretti is not going to tell me. But once I get in the car and I'm able to feel it, it's going to be pretty cool…
“We overachieved some places and we underachieved by trying to overachieve at some other places! It's unfortunate events, but I learned so much and I can't wait to take what I learned into this season.” “I think him and I were very comparable in the Indy Lights season. I won 10 races, he won seven, and it came down to like a few points at the end of it. It was either one of ours to win. Honestly, I was happy to see him do really well because if we both did not so good… it would be like, ‘Oh, maybe that Indy Lights group wasn't that good’.
