Conor Daly and Bobby recap the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, featuring an interview with race winner Kyle Kirkwood.

Historic location. Historic numbers. Historic event. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix was a landmark race for IndyCar on many levels. Conor Daly is back on Speed Street this week to recap this weekend's activities in the Nation's Capital. He joins Producer Bobby to share his experience driving the two seater, interacting with fans and watching Sunday's main event. The guys also look ahead to this coming weekend's double header at the Milwaukee Mile. Race winner Kyle Kirkwood joins the show to chat about his impressive drive to victory and what it was like winning one of the biggest motorsports happenings of the year. He reveals that he wasn't feeling overly confident going into the race, knowing the speed that Alex Palou and Christian Lundgaard had. He also takes listeners through what he was thinking when Scott McLaughlin made his late race lunge for the lead, and what the winning festivities were like after the race.
