🗣 'They were so fast and they ran me down on that last lap' 😨 Kyle Kirkwood feared his Nashville IndyCar race win was in jeopardy – and here's why ⬇️
Andretti Autosport’s Kyle Kirkwood feared his Nashville IndyCar race win was in jeopardy after Team Penske’s Scott McLaughlin “ran me down on that last lap”.Kirkwood scored his second IndyCar Series victory of the year in his first season with“We were really good on the initial lap [of the restart] but right there at the end, man, they were so fast and they ran me down on that last lap,” Kirkwood told NBC.
“I really only made a couple of passes on track and they really cycled me to the front on strategy. We just made some really smart decisions and hit all of our marks, so a solid day no doubt.”David Malukas“Last time I was here, it was not a very fun event,” he admitted. “We were super-fast and I just needed some kind of redemption and I got it here today.”
McLaughlin, who led the opening stint of the race from pole, was undone by an early yellow flag that allowed cars that started on the harder primary tires the advantage by closing up, then running longer and overcutting him.“Another top three, good points, bummed not to get the win but we weren’t the best on the day, Kyle was.
“Hopefully next year, when we run for the championship then we win here and it’ll be a huge party on Broadway. Really proud of the effort today.”
