LEBANON, Tenn. -- Kyle Kirkwood earned a much needed point to close the gap to Alex Palou by winning the pole for Sunday's Music City Grand Prix at Nashville Superspeedway.
Two Andretti Global teams and one PREMA Racing team were demoted to the rear of the final running order from this year's Indy 500, fined $100,000 for each penalized entry and had team/competition managers levied a one-race suspension for inquiries noted on each entry during the post-race inspection procedure.
With less than three months remaining until the commencement of the 2024 NTT IndyCar Series season, a majority of teams and competitors have new or familiar faces or homes set in place while select seats remain within a handle of organizations.
The 24-year-old Kirkwood from Jupiter, Florida, has inked a multi-year contract extension to remain at Andretti Global amid a breakout 2023 season highlighted with his first two IndyCar career victories.
