A snoozer of a start to the new season.

St Pete was one of the most boring races I have seen in a while. It did not inspire me to mark the rest of the season on my calendar.

Speaking of St. Pete, it didn't go well for one of my favorite young drivers, James Roe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Roe_(racing_driver)), who once again crashed at this circuit. Still, I'm excited he's back with Andretti for another Indy NXT season. Here is his interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4z0IO_jjQs) from the 2025 IndyCar opener in St. Pete where he talked about his crash, his journey, mindset, and pushing through setbacks, definitely worth a watch.

Much better racing at Long Beach. Interesting as the two defined strategies played out. Nice job by Kirkwood!!
