INDYCAR: 2023 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach Driver Rankings

Kyle Kirkwood: 10
Nearly a perfect weekend with pole position, wi💯nning the race, and leading the most l⛎aps. This young, talented driver is the real deal.
Romain Grosjean: 9
Grosjean earned his fourth runner-up finish, as he continues to knock onꦺ the door for his first IndyCar win.
Marcus Ericsson: 9
After qualifying on the front row, Ericsson was the only driver that could keep up with the Andretti cars, and takes over the champi🍸onship lead.
Colton Herta: 8
He was right there along with ꦜhis teammat🍸es, but just didn’t have enough to challenge for the lead.
Alex Palou: 7
Another strong result for Palou, who𝕴 is quietly off to a fantastic start this season.

Will Power: 8
A muc🙈h-needed result for the reigning series champion, after a no-show in Te🎀xas and a shaky qualifying performance this weekend.
Felix Rosenqvist: 8
His two teammates may have been faster, but Felix was the only💙 Arrow McLaren🍸 driver to earn a solid finish today.
Marcus Armstrong: 8
He wasn’t disc♉ussed much during the race⛄, but this was a fantastic drive by the rookie.
Josef Newgarden: 7
Early on꧙ it looked as though Newgarden would score back-to-back wins, but strategy did not go their way and he got eaten up late in the rac🌄e.
Scott McLaughlin: 6
It was a dece♋🌌nt result for McLaughlin, but he was never able to challenge at the front of the field.
Santino Ferrucci: 8
Clearly one 🌼of the best results for the AJ Foyt𝓀 Racing team in quite some time.
Graham Rahal: 8
After starting in the back of the pack, Graham d𓄧id what Graham always does, and drove his way through a chunk of the field.
Jack Harvey: 7
He was right there with his teammates, which is something he wasn’t able to say at all las𓃲t year.
Christian Lundgaard: 7
His race started out well but he and the RLL team were just lacking something aꦿll weeke💫nd.

Simon Pagenaud: 5
Another poor performance by Page🌳naud and the Meyer Shank Racing team, who ar🎀e really struggling right now.
Pato O'Ward: 4
He made two questionable decisions in this race, in the same turn. Neither 🌃of them worked out well and his day was ruined even without being penalized.
Callum Ilott: 4
A forgettable weekend for Iloꩵtt and the ꦕJuncos Hollinger Racing team.
Helio Castroneves: 3
Crashing on the opening lap of the race is never good, espe𝔉cially whꦐen there is no one else to blame.
Alexander Rossi: 7
Rossi had a top-ten ru🦄n nearly in the bank, but it all went away on the final lap when he crashed into the tier barriers.
Conor Daly: 4
His 100th start did notꦐ go as well as he or the E🃏d Carpenter Racing team had hoped.
Rinus VeeKay: 4
See above, the ECR organization desperat✨ely needs to get to Indy.
Scott Dixon: 2
His day was ruined when O’Ward put him into the tires. Outside of the Indianapolis 500 in 2014 and 2017, his 27th place finish today was the wor🐓st of his career, which spans 371 races.
