Kyle Kirkwood finished practice at the top of the timesheets ahead of qualifying for the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg presented by RP Funding. The St. Petersburg Grand prix is a 100 lap race serves as the first street circuit on the lengthy season calendar. Kirkwood who had a best finish 10th last season said, “In the past three years, this is one of the races that I enjoy coming to the most because it is a home state for me, But it’s interesting because I haven’t had good races here. It’s not lack of pace. It’s a multitude of things that cause the bad races here. So, it will be important to get out of this weekend with some points on the board and a good finish.”
