Kyle Kirkwood finishes third in the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio

Kyle Kirkwood continues his streak of strong finishes in the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES, coming home third in the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio presented by the 2027 CR-V Hybrid.

The podium finish moves the Andretti Global driver back into second place in the championship, 56 points behind Alex Palou. Kirkwood has scored 10 top-10 finishes in 11 races run this year, including a win at the inaugural Java House Grand Prix of Arlington.

Championship leader Alex Palou finished fifth for the second-consecutive race. The Spaniard has four wins this year as he goes for his fifth NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship.

Kirkwood’s Andretti Global teammate, Will Power, finished sixth on the day while local Ohio boy Graham Rahal came home 12th.

2026 Indianapolis 500 winner Felix Rosenqvist finished 13th, just ahead of his Meyer Shank Racing teammate, Marcus Armstrong, in his Acura-sponsored Indy car.

Armstrong’s Acura Honda is the third appearance of Acura branding this season—as the automaker looks to take advantage of a new, and growing, audience in IndyCar. IndyCar viewership is up 14% on 2025. Armstrong advanced 10 positions on the day, starting 24th and finishing 14th.

Today’s Honda Indy 200 ran without a caution period, and without a single competitor dropping out, over the entire 90 laps on the two-year anniversary on the introduction of the IndyCar Hybrid System.

Honda maintains a narrow advantage in the manufacturers’ championship fight, 892-868.
