Kirkwood Shines at Mid-Ohio Test

Kyle Kirkwood dominated a private IndyCar test at Mid-Ohio, posting the fastest lap of 1:05.354—a major boost as the track hosts next weekend’s race and he’s chasing championship momentum after a rough Road America weekend. VeeKay, Hauger, Power, and Ericsson all hovered close behind in the top five, signaling fierce competition. Meanwhile, Rasmussen and Armstrong both faced setbacks—engine changes, crashes, and shortened sessions—highlighting the high stakes even in practice. With a weekend off before returning to Mid-Ohio for race 11, teams are using every moment to fine-tune, and Kirkwood’s blistering lap puts him squarely in contention as the championship heats up.
