“Double-edged sword”: Kyle Kirkwood on IndyCar's decision to race at Thermal Club
The 2025 Thermal Club race was the first championship race at the private race track. Many criticized IndyCar for hosting a race at an exclusive club with restricted entry. When Kyle Kirkwood was asked about the same during the Pit Pass Indy podcast, he replied,
“I mean, I've got a lot of thoughts. It depends. You know, everything that I'm going to say, there's a double edged sword. I think it's a very interesting circuit.” (3:45 onwards)
“When you look at the actual event as a whole, it doesn't have a lot of people out here, but nor does the PGA. They go to a lot of private events and they don't allow as many people in,” he added
Kirkwood was on course to finish P4 after a strong race, but a poor final stint caused by high tire degradation dropped the Andretti Global driver like a rock and he finished P8.
