Speaking at Monday night’s Indy 500 Victory Celebration banquet, Kirkwood paid tribute to the AMR safety crew and all the medical team at IndyCar, having been trapped upside down after sliding along the track following the Turn 2 crash.
“When I first had the impact, it was about 80G, obviously you’re flying around a little bit inside the car,” said Kirkwood. “I think my right knee hit the steering column and banged it up a little bit. But 20 minutes later I’m walking around just fine. Thankfully I was OK.
