The streets of Detroit roared to life as IMSA and IndyCar became the stars of this year's Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix. Let's focus on the IndyCar side where the drivers still have some leftovers from the Indy 500 to rip through Motor City's finest.
As the green flag waved, the action in Detroit began with a four-car stack-up at the first corner triggered by Will Power tagged by Santino Ferucci, followed by a Lap 16 disaster when Helio Castroneves and rookie Kyffin Simpson got into a fender-bender. Lap 32 saw Scott McLaughlin collide with the barrier.
As raindrops occurred on Lap 36, some drivers began switching to wet tires. As the race restarts on Lap 41, Rinus Veekay got slipped by Will Power. Two laps later, there's drama at the pitlane as one of the crew members slipped the moment after Christian Lundgaard did his pitstop.
Lap 46 saw Colton Herta go off-track after overtaking two drivers. Halfway through the race, another four-car mess-up in the first corner with Lundgaard and Romain Grosjean colliding, followed by a Lap 60 nudge by Theo Pourchaire to Pietro Fittipaldi, and Lap 63 saw Sting Ray Robb getting crashed after being pushed by Scott McLaughlin.
Restart on Lap 70, Josef Newgarden and Alex Palou collided in the first corner, triggering another caution while Lap 81 saw Newgarden tap into the wall. As the race nears its end, Scott Dixon is locked in a heated clash with Marcus Armstrong.
