Summary
After a heart-pounding Indy 500, IndyCar hit Detroit with fire — and chaos. Felix Rosenqvist, still buzzing from his big win, faced a field hungry to make their mark. Qualifying was a disaster: Schumacher and Malukas crashed, while Rossi and Newgarden battled injuries. But pole-sitter Alex Palou held his nerve to claim victory, with Kyle Kirkwood and Graham Rahal nailing the podium. The second half? Pure mayhem — multiple crashes involving Ferrucci, VeeKay, Schumacher, Malukas, McLaughlin, and Power. Even Rossi, after a penalty, spun Grosjean late. Palou’s win boosts his championship lead, but Kirkwood’s relentless second-place run keeps him right in the mix. Rahal’s gritty podium proves he’s not done yet. Next stop: a night race at World Wide Technology Raceway. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
