LONG BEACH, Calif. — Kyle Kirkwood won the first race of his IndyCar career Sunday by holding off Andretti Autosport teammate Romain Grosjean on the downtown streets of Long Beach.

Kirkwood won the pole a day earlier for the Grand Prix of Long Beach and the Jupiter, Florida, native then closed out the win at the most prestigious street course race in the United States. “I am over the moon,” said Kirkwood, who blinked back tears.

He was challenged mid-race by defending Long Beach winner Josef Newgarden, but reclaimed the lead when the Team Penske driver pitted for new tires.

Kirkwood stayed out for a handful more laps and was able to make his stop for tires and get back on track before Newgarden could reclaim the lead.

Women’s Super League: talking points from the weekend’s action

Bunny Shaw cannot stop scoring and she added to her tally against Reading on Sunday. The goal was the Manchester City striker’s 18th of the season and the question now is can she break the record for most goals scored by a player in a WSL campaign. Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema currently holds the record with 22, achieved by the Dutch striker during the 2018-19 season. Shaw is four goals shy of matching Miedema’s tally and with City having three matches remaining this season, it is possible to see the 26-year-old doing just that. It should also be noted that Aston Villa’s Rachel Daly is on 17 goals, just one behind Shaw, and so, come the end of the season, it is possible two players will have surpassed Miedema’s mark.
