Just a week after the intense Indianapolis 500 event, drivers were back in action testing on the streets of Detroit, facing a completely different challenge from the smooth speed of Indianapolis, with plenty of bumps and battles on downtown roads.
The race in Detroit saw multiple leaders in the first half, before IndyCar’s star driver Alex Palou emerged victorious in the 100-lap event.
Palou’s journey to victory was not easy as he faced challenges like tire locking, but his pace proved unstoppable and he claimed his fourth win of 2026.
Kyle Kirkwood finished second, followed by Graham Rahal, making it an all Honda podium in Chevy’s hometown.
The day was marked by rough racing, with incidents like Christian Ramussen’s crash and Scott McLaughlin’s skirmish with Will Power, who had to retire due to damage.
Despite the obstacles, Rahal continued to defy the odds and secured his third podium of the season in a challenging Detroit race.
