Grosjean wasn't the only driver that left Detroit with his tail between his legs.
Visibly frustrated as he exited the car, it was another great run that ended with a crashed car. With 20 laps remaining, Grosjean made a mistake inside the car and slammed hard into the outside wall and his day was done. 28 Honda again ran into Scott McLaughlin as he came out of pit lane. Romain Grosjean got the worst of it on Sunday, as the driver of the No. Colton Herta got his front wing chopped off and later found the concrete wall, but still managed to finish in 11th, ahead of teammate Devlin DeFrancesco.
It was a strange day for Andretti Autosport, as all of their cars had issues this weekend. Kirkwood went to the back of the field but drove his way to the front and finished 6th after posting the fastest lap of the race. Kyle Kirkwood had a phenomenal recovery from the start of the race, when he was run over by Callum Ilott on the opening lap. The two said they will talk afterwards, but both were able to secure top-five finishes on Sunday. Both drivers stated that it was just hard, aggressive driving, but also fair. The Arrow McLaren driver was in an intense battle with his teammate Alexander Rossi in the closing laps, as the two made contact several times. Joining Palou and Power on the podium was Felix Rosenqvist. Dixon settled for a 4th place finish, right where he started the race. Power went up on two wheels and his car went into anti-stall mode, but he recovered for a runner-up finish after leading 14 laps. Will Power sliced his way through the field and was in contention for the win on the final restart but contact with Scott Dixon while trying to take the lead from Palou proved costly. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver led 74 of the 100 laps and won the race from pole position.
Palou had to earn it, but he did just that by winning the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix for his second victory of the season. The new street circuit in downtown Detroit was a challenge for all 27 drivers this weekend, but Alex Palou proved to be the best. 2023 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix - Race Results
