Alex Palou wins Detroit Grand Prix after starting on the pole

Alex Palou led the Detroit Grand Prix from pole position and controlled the downtown street course to claim victory. It marked his fourth win of the season as Honda took the top three spots, with Kyle Kirkwood finishing second and Graham Rahal in third. Will Power began from second but retired after 79 laps, ending his bid for the podium. Earlier Sunday, Enzo Fittipaldi won the INDY NXT race, beating 23 rivals, signaling a busy day of racing around Detroit’s urban circuit. Palou now holds a commanding lead in the championship standings as the season unfolds toward the next round. Detroit's weekend event drew about 150,000 visitors over the weekend, and organizers projected more than $150 million in local visitor spending. The result reinforces Honda's strength on the podium and adds momentum to Palou heading into the next race, while highlighting Detroit’s role as a marquee street-course venue that contributes to tourism and media coverage.
