The IndyCar Series completes a five-week stretch of on-track action with the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, a 100-lap race on a 9-turn, 1.645-mile downtown street layout.
Push-to-pass: 150 total seconds, in increments up to 15 seconds
Tire allotment: Five sets of primary tires (six for rookies) and five sets of alternate tires. Teams must use one set of primary tires and one set of new alternate tires for at least two laps in the race.

Alex Palou. Not sure there’s much else to say, though Kyle Kirkwood beat him that one time.

Scott Dixon stayed out of the way of all the crashes and penalties on the tight downtown street course to come away with his 58th career win.
IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix expert picks, predictions
From Nathan Brown, IndyStar
Picking Alex Palou is so obvious that we’re barring him from this portion of the preview for a while. Pato O’Ward sits second and Christian Lundgaard third in points, but they’re more than two races’ worth of max points behind Palou.
Who makes a move in the points standings? Marcus Ericsson would have been 10th in points after crossing the finish line second in the Indianapolis 500, but he stands 20th after his car failed post-race tech inspection. He earned his lone podium finish in 2024 in Detroit, and with a similar performance this weekend, Ericsson makes up a lot of the ground he lost in the championship standings in Indy.
Surprising qualifying performance: Though Rinus Veekay has had some strong qualifying performances in his first year with Dale Coyne Racing, he hasn’t been consistent. But in his first race weekend with Michael Cannon as engineer, Veekay narrowly misses out on the Fast 6, but sets himself up for a strong Sunday.
Something you didn’t see coming: At a track where he started on pole last year, but only finished 19th, Detroit seems like as good a track as any for Colton Herta to find some momentum. He sits just 9th in the championship standings with a single top-5 finish. However, the narrow streets of Detroit can be cruel, and somehow Herta and the No. 26 crew leave with a tough result unbecoming of the traditionally dominant street course program of Andretti Global.
