Chip Ganassi Racing’s Kyffin Simpson has been retroactively penalized by the IndyCar Series for triggering the end-of-race crash that put Arrow McLaren’s Nolan Siegel and Dale Coyne Racing’s Romain Grosjean into the wall and out of the contest.

At Andretti Global, Ron Ruzewski was given the first opportunity in a celebrated career to lead a team from the outset. That chance started Jan. 1, just 73 days prior to Kyle Kirkwood’s mastery of the GP of Arlington to secure Andretti’s first victory of the season.

ECR used the Arlington event sponsored by team co-owner and chairman Ted Gelov to showcase its steep rise in competitiveness.

Andretti Global did its best to give away the win but Kyle Kirkwood, Will Power and Marcus Ericsson wouldn’t be denied as they finished first, third and fourth for the team to sandwich Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou at the GP of Arlington.

The Swede demolished the pole contenders with a lap of 1m34.356s in the No. 28 Andretti Global Honda which was nearly a half-second better than Alex Palou’s in the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to capture his first series pole.

“We had a little hiccup on pit lane,” said Kirkwood, who will start seventh. “I just forgot which lap we needed to do our lap on."

It was only a small crash for Newgarden, but it came at a critical time.

Palou, Rahal, Rosenqvist, and McLaughlin all highlighted how much fun they had taking to the track for the first time on Friday.

The track is big and bold and the best driver from the first-ever session at the Java House Grand Prix of Arlington was flying on Friday at St. Petersburg polesitter Scott McLaughlin set the new standard for speed.
