In this episode of The Inside Line, IndyCar motorsports reporter Nathan Brown and co-host Joey Barnes discuss Kyle Kirkwood’s win from pole in the Long Beach Grand Prix and how Andretti Global’s execution – and lack of it from competitors – led to the first race of the year not won by Alex Palou.

Kyle Kirkwood showed that Alex Palou can be beat this IndyCar season and returned Andretti Global to the top of the podium with his second career victory at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. Kirkwood has won the most prestigious street course race in the United States twice in the last three years and Sunday's win ended the early run of Palou dominance.
