CHEVROLET DETROIT GRAND PRIX RACE 1 RACE DEBRIEF 06.12.2021
It was an action-packed day in Detroit as the 25-car NTT INDYCAR SERIES field hit the streets of Belle Isle for both qualifying and the first race of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix doubleheader. After just narrowly missing out on the pole position by less than a tenth of a second, Alexander Rossi led the qualifying charge for the Andretti Autosport stable rolling off in second. An untimely red flag during Race 1 threw a wrench in multiple strategies for the Andretti squad and ultimately only Rossi came away with a top-10 finish for the team.
Tomorrow’s coverage of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix Race 2 begins with qualifying at 9 a.m. ET on NBC Sports Network and coverage of Race 2 starting at 12 p.m. ET on NBC.
