Last season at this race, Palou started third but finished second behind Kyle Kirkwood. As the winner of the 2025 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, Kirkwood dominated, leading 46 laps after starting from the pole. The driver of the No. 27 Andretti Global ride has one win in 2026, getting the victory at the inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington in March. One to Watch: Could this be the weekend that Josef Newgarden gets back into Winner’s Circle? He won at Phoenix earlier this season after only leading eight laps. In that race, Newgarden held off Kirkwood, who led 47 laps but finished as the runner-up to Newgarden. However, Long Beach in 2025 was a performance the driver of the No. 2 Team Penske car would like to forget. He started 15th but finished 27th after having seat belt issues.
