For the first time since 2008, IndyCar is being watched by more than 1 million viewers through the first three races of a season as 1,336,000 watched the Arlington GP.

But Kyle Kirkwood, the winner Sunday in the inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington, also leads the points. And he has the best average finish of 2.33 for the year. So Kirkwood is atop these rankings three races into the season and with a weekend off before the teams race March 29 at Barber Motorsports Park outside of Birmingham.
