RACE REPORT: Farm to Finish 275

• After race-ending contact in Race 1 yesterday, Kyle Kirkwood took the green flag this afternoon in 21st with hopes of moving through the field for a strong result in the second race of the doubleheader weekend.
• Starting in the tenth row this afternoon, Kirkwood ran near the back of the field for the first half of the race. Finally moving his way up to P15 by Lap 151, the No. 27 Sukup Honda held onto this position, and was eventually the only car on track to not pit during the caution period that took place Laps 176-189, sending him to the front of the field.
• Although he led the field to green at this restart, Kirkwood quickly fell back through the field, as he was running on used tires until pitting on Lap 226. Making his final pit stop of the race on Lap 261, he rejoined the field for the final 14 laps of the race and took the checkered in 18th.

“I was actually quite happy with how today was going, but I got caught out by a yellow there towards the end, and there was just no recovering from that. I had a much better car than yesterday, and we seemed to be making some progress, but it’s safe to say that it was not enough. This was a weekend to forget, but the positive is that we have Toronto coming up next week, and that was our best weekend of the season last year. We’re going to look forward to that.”
