There are plenty of prior winners of the Long Beach GP racing this weekend: defending champion Kyle Kirkwood, Josef Newgarden, Colton Herta, Alexander Rossi, Scott Dixon, and Will Power.

Andretti has won 4 of the past 5 Long Beach GPs. However, one if its former drivers which won two of those four GPs, Alexander Rossi, now drives for Arrow McLaren.

Winning from pole is not as common on this street circuit as you would expect. It has only been done three times in the past 15 seasons, but, conversely, three times in the past five races. It it usually part of an absolutely dominating weekend for the winning driver.
2023 - Kyle Kirkwood (who also led the most laps)
2019 - Alexander Rossi (who also led the most laps)
2018 - Alexander Rossi (who also led the most laps)

IndyCar introduces new road course wind screen this weekend at Long Beach
It makes the car lighter but that is in advance of the hybrid engine EVO



quote:

The upgraded model, which builds upon the device implemented in advance of the 2020 season, is lighter but also features elements to keep drivers cooler during races that take place in the summer month.

It accomplishes this with vents but also a top front duct that directs air to the drivers’ chests. The ducting is 3D printed in rubber to prevent hand injuries in an incident.
