The junior single-seater ace chasing the American dream

After working - and winning - his way up America's single-seater ladder, Indy Lights newcomer Kyle Kirkwood could be on the cusp of making it to the top table

Aside from having the perfect name for a successful career in the United States, 21-year-old Kyle Kirkwood seems pretty much destined for an IndyCar seat just now.

He collected multiple titles during his formative karting career before making a victorious transition to car racing in an F1600 part-season. On his maiden outing in the Formula Ford series, he won the season-opener at Road Atlanta and set the championship lap record in the process. A further six races followed and he wound up 16th in the standings.
