For O\u2019Ward, it was his fourth runner-up finish in six career starts at World Wide Technology Raceway. Christian Rasmussen of Ed Carpenter Racing rounded out the podium with a career-best, third-place finish.<\/p>\n<p>Kirkwood\u2019s fifth career victory came in the first-ever scheduled primetime NTT INDYCAR SERIES race to be held on a Sunday night with FOX that featured a track record-tying 254 passes for position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, it&#8217;s kind of funny, right?\u201d said Kirkwood, who won the previous race on the streets of Detroit. \u201cYou get on this streak where it&#8217;s like, oh, he&#8217;s doing so well, he&#8217;s winning races, street courses. But then you get your fourth and people are like, another street course for Kirkwood. It&#8217;s not as big of a deal now. When is he going to win something else?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody knows you&#8217;ve got to be diverse in this series. You&#8217;ve got to win at multiple circuits. You&#8217;ve got to win at multiple venues. Whether it&#8217;s a short oval, long oval, street course, road course, whatever it might be, you&#8217;ve got to win at all of them. A step in the right direction for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AJ Foyt Racing\u2019s David Malukas and Team Penske\u2019s Scott McLaughlin set the pace early with Malukas leading the first 50 laps and McLaughlin the following 51. The race, however, was shaping up to be a repeat of four of the last five seasons with Team Penske\u2019s Josef Newgarden charging from his fifth starting position to first on Lap 105.<\/p>\n<p>Newgarden, the defending race winner who had won four of the last five at WWTR, took command of the race as he led 25 laps and opened up a six-second cushion over second-place Malukas. But then calamity struck.<\/p>\n<p>Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing rookie Louis Foster hit the Turn 4 wall and then careened across the track. Newgarden took the low line to avoid the incident, but Foster left him nowhere to go except over the top of his car. Newgarden\u2019s car launched, flipped upside down and slid down the frontstretch before coming to rest near the start\/finish line. Both drivers were uninjured in the dramatic crash.<\/p>\n<p>Malukas, O\u2019Ward and Conor Daly of Juncos Hollinger Racing took extended turns in the lead before several drivers were taking strategic gambles on fuel to secure the win. Chip Ganassi Racing\u2019s Scott Dixon took his first lead of the race on Lap 194 and held the point for 43 laps before being forced to dive into the pits for fuel. Five drivers would then exchange the lead before having to pit and Kirkwood, with plenty of fuel, moved into position for the win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understood the strategy pretty well,\u201d Kirkwood said. \u201cI understood that some of those guys there at the end were trying to make the fuel work and if they got a caution, they would have. It would have been pretty easy for them to make it to the end if there was just one caution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything worked to plan accordingly. If I&#8217;m being honest, we didn&#8217;t start with an amazing race car; we finished with one. That was just due to the work that the crew did and due to the work that Honda did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dixon would finish fourth while AJ Foyt Racing\u2019s Santino Ferrucci, driving the No. 14 Bommarito Automotive Group Chevrolet, rounded out the top five. Graham Rahal of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing finished 22nd in his 300th career start.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Andretti Global rookie Lochie Hughes won the INDY NXT by Firestone race for his second victory of the season. Hughes passed polesitter and leader Caio Collet to take the lead on Lap 62 of 75 and then cruised to a 4.3521-second victory over runner-up Myles Rowe of ABEL Motorsports w\/ Force Indy. Collet took the final podium spot, finishing third and 5.5196 seconds back. Hughes, currently second in the series championship, cut the deficit in half to 19 points behind leader and rookie teammate Dennis Hauger, who finished fifth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Kyle Kirkwood Rallied To Earn\u00a0 First Career NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory.
