- Kyle Kirkwood took to the grid today in the fourth row and was able to navigate the No. 27 Chili’s Honda as high as fourth, running with teammate Herta solidly in the top five throughout the 65-lap race.
- With only five laps to go and a top-five result solidly in his sights, tire degradation unfortunately plagued Kirkwood and the Chili’s Honda dropped from fifth to eighth as the race came to a close.
- Today’s result marked Kirkwood’s second consecutive top-10 finish, and his ninth top-10 finish on a road course.
“We should have finished fourth or fifth today, but unfortunately our last set of tires suffered some tire deg. Last year we did not have the strongest result, but a test here earlier this year proved that we can change things around. So, coming away with a top-10 finish today is a big positive. Thanks to everyone from the No. 27 crew for their work this weekend.”
