NTT IndyCar Series 2022 - XPEL 375

The 2022 season of the NTT IndyCar Series continues in Texas Motor Speedway for the XPEL 375 race.

Felix Rosenqvist leads the grid to the starting line to kick off the springtime racing action in the Lone Star state, the first oval racing action of the season. 36 laps later, the action builds up as the drivers make their moves. However, in Lap 99, Takuma Sato ended up colliding into the wall following contact with Francesco. In Lap 114, disaster struck rookie driver Kirkwood as he spun out and crashed. Lap 129 saw a three-car crash with Francesco, Castroneves, and Graham Rahal involved. As the race restarted in Lap 149, it was a free-for-all battle royale for the drivers fighting for the lead.
