Kirkwood Wins Historic Freedom 250 in D.C.

Kyle Kirkwood held the lead for most of the Freedom 250 in Washington D.C., calling his victory "a big moment for America" and comparing the significance to racing at the Indianapolis 500. "If you can't win at the (Indy) 500, this is definitely the place to win," said Kirkwood after dominating the race through the nation's capital. tbzikra.org

Second-place finisher Christian Lundgaard noted it was "fitting that an American won" at the event with the U.S. Capitol in the background. Will Power, who secured third place, reflected on his journey from regional Australia to racing in D.C., calling it "such an epic event" that he "could never dream of" when starting his career in Toowoomba.
