Kyle Kirkwood, driving for Andretti Global, sits second in the IndyCar championship with seven races remaining. He trails series leader Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing by 56 points as the schedule turns to Nashville.
The Nashville event could be pivotal; a strong result would tighten the points race, but Palou's cushion still demands a solid performance from Kirkwood to mount a realistic challenge for the title.
