Victorious again—winning the Bommarito 500

Taking his third INDYCAR victory of the 2025 season, Andretti Global driver Kyle Kirkwood has won the 2025 Bommarito Automotive Group 500, driving the Siemens-sponsored No. 27 car. This is Kirkwood’s fifth career INDYCAR win, and his very first oval-track victory.

Starting the race in 10th position, Kirkwood consistently ran in the top 10 throughout the 260-lap race, moving the No. 27 Siemens Honda into the lead three different times and taking his final lead with just four laps to go.

Kirkwood took the checkered flag earlier this year at the Detroit Grand Prix (see below) and the Grand Prix at Long Beach. Siemens sponsored Kirkwood’s No. 27 Siemens Honda at the Indianapolis 500.

Kyle Kirkwood—No. 27 driver

59 INDYCAR starts & 5 wins

Kyle Kirkwood took his fifth INDYCAR career win at the 2025 Bommarito Automotive Group 500, his third INDYCAR victory of 2025, having earlier won the Detroit Grand Prix and the Grand Prix of Long Beach. Bommarito was his first INDYCAR oval-track win. He took his very first INDYCAR win—at Long Beach—in 2023 and then his second later that year at the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix in Nashville.

A Florida native, Kyle began kart racing in his childhood. He first raced in a single-seater car in 2015 at the age of 17 in the F1600 Championship, winning the Road Atlanta race.

"We just had an amazing car [at Bommarito]. I really didn’t think we had it in the beginning, but as it got dark and cooled down, the No. 27 Siemens Honda just came alive. Hats off to my crew—these guys killed it in pit lane. Everyone at Andretti Global deserves this. Third win on the year, man, that’s incredible, and it’s my first oval win. I’m over the moon right now." - Kyle Kirkwood, driver of the No. 27 Siemens AWS Honda, Andretti Global
