IndyCar team owner Kevin Kalkhoven has yet to make the formal announcement of KV Racing's closure, but with the team's notable absence at the Phoenix open test and the anticipated sale of its cars and equipment, former KV driver Tony Kanaan shared his thoughts on the unfortunate situation.


"Let me put it this way: It's weird or sad to see a team go, regardless of what those people are," said the Brazilian, who won the 2013 Indy 500 with the team (pictured). "But for me, especially that team that we won the biggest race of our lives together, and that's the team that we struggled together, and I remember how we struggled to get where we got. And honestly, we only made it this far because of that win."
