Arlington, Texas — INDYCAR is 3-for-3 this year. Three races. Three winners. And we’re not talking just about three different winners on the racetrack. We’re talking about three races with great atmospheres — a traditional street race festival in St. Petersburg, the return of INDYCAR to the 1-mile Phoenix oval as part of a doubleheader with NASCAR and then Sunday at the inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington. [RACE HIGHLIGHTS: How Arlington Race Unfolded] The winner wasn’t too much of a surprise — Kyle Kirkwood is arguably the best street-course racer in the series and despite a hiccup in qualifying where he ended up seventh, many viewed him as the driver to beat. He gave Andretti Global its first win of the year, joining Alex Palou (Ganassi) and Josef Newgarden (Penske) with trophies already this season. Here are my takeaways: 1. Kirkwood Masterful Kirkwood passed Palou on the final turn of Lap 55 of the 70-lap race with a daring move on the inside of the turn. He appeared impatient even though it was clear he had the speed to make the pass. But Kirkwood explained why he felt the urgency, and it made sense, considering Palou is masterful in his own way, a way that has led to three consecutive series titles (and four overall). "Palou is a smart person, smart driver — and if he knew that I got that close to him on that lap, and then I waited for the next lap to attack him, he would have defended," Kirkwood said in his postrace news conference. "We were in a dire straits situation. This is probably the only place I can pass him. This is the only time I can surprise him." Kirkwood now leads the points for the first time in his career, having a 26-point edge on Palou. 2. Andretti Awesome Andretti, which is known for its recent street-course prowess, placed three of its drivers in the first four spots with Will Power in third and Marcus Ericsson in fourth. Ericsson started from the pole. "The team has done a fantastic job — three cars in the top four. That's an amazing result," Ericsson told me and other reporters after the race. "It's just frustrating to be the one out finishing fourth. I wish I was up there on the [top-three] podium with other guys." 3. Palou Second-Best Alex Palou settled for second, and he… [TheTopNews] Read More.59 mins ago - 2026 NFL Free Agency Tracker: Eagles Re-Sign TE Dallas Goedert, More

Having found the water with his tee shot on the first extra hole Sunday at LIV Golf Singapore, Bryson DeChambeau was just hoping to save par and extend his playoff against Richard T. Lee. Never did the Crushers GC captain expect to win in a drama-filled finish that ended with DeChambeau getting up-and-down for par, then Lee missing a 2-foot par putt that would’ve sent the playoff back to the 18th tee for a second extra hole at Sentosa Golf Club. "A lot of emotion right now," DeChambeau said after his fourth career LIV Golf individual title. "Good emotion, struggling emotion, just everything that you could possibly imagine, it’s there. But a lot of joy." There’s also a lot of joy involving Dustin Johnson's 4Aces GC, which won for the second consecutive week in Asia, having also claimed last week’s tournament in Hong Kong that broke a streak of 32 consecutive regular-season starts without a win. Thomas Pieters led the way for the team with a bogey-free 6-under 65, while Anthony Kim (69) also went bogey-free. Johnson (69) and Thomas Detry (70) rounded out the 11-under final round, lowest of any team Sunday, for the five-shot victory. "Obviously, the league gets better every single year," Johnson said. "It gets harder to win. You’ve got to have four really good players if you want to have a chance to win. Right now, I feel like we do." Lee, the league’s first Canadian player, certainly reflects the league’s depth. The dominant winner of LIV Golf Promotions in January, his runner-up finish at Sentosa is the best result and first top-10 finish ever posted by one of the league’s independent Wild Card players. He put himself in position to win after a birdie at the par-5 18th in regulation to finish with a 5-under 66 and 10 under total. That forced DeChambeau, playing in the final group behind him, to also make birdie to shoot 66 and force the playoff at 14 under. In rainy conditions that had already forced two stoppages earlier in the day, DeChambeau initially pulled 3-wood for the tee shot on 18 but then opted for driver. His ball splashed into the water hazard running down the left side of the fairway. Lee, with the advantage, followed with a tee shot that found the fairway bunker on the right side, forcing him to lay up. After his penalty drop, DeChambeau’s… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
