The 50th anniversary edition of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach takes place this weekend and Andretti Global announced this week that Kyle Kirkwood will drive the No.27 PreFab Home Wiring Honda for the race.
PreFab Home Wiring’s systems are engineered to reduce construction time, minimize labor costs and enhance overall quality, setting new standards in the home building industry, saving builders 30 percent in cost and time. PreFab Home Wiring was first seen on Kirkwood’s and teammate Marcus Ericsson’s Honda machines at the 2025 INDYCAR season opener on the Streets of St. Petersburg and will continue to be featured across the Andretti INDYCAR program for the remainder of the season.
Doug Bresnahan, Chief Commercial Officer at Andretti Global says:
“It’s always exciting to bring in new partners to the Andretti INDYCAR program but having an organization as impressive as PreFab Home Wiring come onboard through our growing partnership with Yazaki Innovations is such a full circle moment for us. “Yazaki Innovations joined us during the month of May for the iconic Indianapolis 500 last year, so it’s only fitting that PreFab Home Wiring makes their big debut on the Streets of Long Beach, a favorite of not only the Andretti organization, but the entire INDYCAR paddock.”
Kyle Kirkwood, driver of the No.27 Prefab Home Wiring Honda says:
“I am excited to have PreFab Home Wiring as a primary partner in Long Beach. “After giving them a glimpse of the action in the opening rounds of the season, I’m looking forward to hopefully bringing the PreFab Honda to the podium at such a special race on the INDYCAR calendar.”
As to the on track action this weekend. Colton Herta heads into the race this weekend hoping to go one step better than last season in Long Beach where he finished the race runner up to Scott Dixon.
“The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is a special one for me. It’s the first race I ever attended, and it’s also a place where I was fortunate to get a win in 2021. As a Honda driver and LA native, it’s also meaningful with the strong presence Acura and Honda have in Southern California. I can’t wait to get back to California this weekend and celebrate the 50th anniversary of such a great race.”
Marcus Ericsson is back with Bryant this weekend and is looking forward to the race ahead saying:
“Long Beach has always been one of my favorite tracks, and this year’s race is a big one. Not only is it the 50th anniversary of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, but it is also my 100th INDYCAR start, so there’s a lot to celebrate. Long Beach has a bit of everything—some fast corners, long straights and the famous hairpin. It’s a track that puts on an amazing show and brings out so many fans. Looking forward to a great weekend with the Bryant crew.”
Andretti Global Chief Operating Officer Rob Edwards says:
“The Acura Beach Grand of Long Beach is always one of the highlights of the season. This year will be a special one as we celebrate 50 years of racing on the Streets of Long Beach. Some of us can even remember the first race in 1975 with the F5000 cars. Over the last two years, Colton, Kyle and Marcus have all been on the podium in Long Beach, and we will be looking to continue that momentum. It would be great if all three of them can be on the podium together.”
