## Resource

Alex Palou blitzed the Detroit Grand Prix opener with the fastest lap, narrowly beating Kyle Kirkwood by a hair’s breadth—both Honda drivers leading the charge as Honda locked out the top four. Chevrolet fought back hard, with Pato O’Ward fifth and David Malukas sixth, while Marcus Ericsson battled through a fluid leak to finish top ten. No major drama, but plenty of aggressive pushing as drivers like Armstrong, Lundgaard, and Malukas tested tire compounds for qualifying. With Josef Newgarden rehabbing post-Indy 500, the stage is set for a razor-thin, high-stakes weekend on Detroit’s tight streets.
