Wow, Kirkwood - Grosjean - Newgarden. It's a straight-up race now with two potential first-time winners at the front!

And Kirkwood and Grosjean are teammates. Imagine if they take each other out. It is Grosjean after all.

Newgarden dropping...

Ericsson up but with not much push to pass left.

Will Romain be too agressive and ruin it again...lots of push to pass for him

I'm rooting for Kirkwood to hang on.

Grosjean would be great too, as long as it's a clean pass.

Whats crazy if Grosjean was not agressive in St Pete and bad luck at end of Texas he would be leading points

Fantastic race. A ton of action, minimal yellows.

For Andretti, this should make up for the frustrations at the start of the season.

After watching the replay, I put the St. Pete accident on McLaughlin.

Good to see a first time winner. Kirkwood seems like a good dude.

I bet Rossi has a little extra aggravation to see an Andretti win.

Can you imagine having 153 push to pass and can’t use it due to fuel savings? Grosjean took one for the team today. They pitted him earlier than wanted to cover leader pitting. Then he was in fuel save and only allowed to use 30 seconds PTP at end but too little too late. He legit could have 2 wins this year.

OWard took 0 blame for causing that wreck of Dixon. That will bite him later on. Seems a bit high on himself in interview

Time to go racing. And everyone's favorite ex-F1 driver Romain Grosjean is on pole! Will he finally get that elusive first win? This might be his best chance yet.

Broadcast starts at 3:00 pm ET on NBC. Green flag at 3:30 pm ET.

The guys in front may be blowing it if they have to take an extra pit stop and guys a few places back don't.

The blue/white PPG livery has to be in the discussion when bringing up classic racecar liveries.
