Coming off the high of one of the most exciting Indy 500s in memory, the IndyCar series heads to Motown this week for the Detroit Grand Prix. 

Felix Rosenqvist's epic last-lap comeback at Indianapolis Motor Speedway transcended the sport's usual fanbase, making headlines and highlight reels everywhere. Now it's on to one of the series' most iconic street courses for a follow-up. 

As the reigning Indy winner, Rosenqvist will be in the spotlight this weekend and hoping for a better outcome than last year, when Louis Foster's suspension failure initiated an ugly late wreck that took Rosenqvist out of the race. Series leader Alex Palou also crashed out in 2025, with Kyle Kirkwood eventually taking the checkered flag. 

Who will come out on top this year? Here's all you need to know to watch all the Detroit Grand Prix and all of the events leading up to it.
