From 27th with no rear wing on lap one to sixth place at the finish! 🤯 How KKirkwoodRacing worked his IndyCar magic to make 'phenomenal' DetroitGP recovery 👇

They managed to replace it without losing a lap, but it meant the Long Beach Grand Prix winner restarted the race dead last., which was super-unfortunate but it’s part of IndyCar sometimes, and it’s out of your control – and I’ve had a lot of those this year unfortunately,” Kirkwood told NBC.
“Our strategy cycled us in front of a lot of cars and we were able to pass a lot of cars because of our pace, and we had great pitstops, so everything played in our favor there. Cycling back to P6, I thought that was phenomenal and I was ready to finish right there!”
