This week-end the Indy Cars are on Belle Isle across the river from Detroit for the Duals at Detroit. You have two separate races to get your picks in and this is always a fun set of races to enjoy. We will use this thread to cover both races.

Past winners are leading the pack in practice such as Bourdais, Dixon, and Rahal.

RHR leads all of the practices and Andretti Autosport has all four drivers in the top ten. Following Hunter-Reay on the combined timesheet were teammates Marco Andretti in fifth, Alexander Rossi in eighth and Zach Veach in 10th

Marco wins the pole but I am not sure he can handle winning. I'll go with RHR for the win followed by Marco, Power, and Dixon for fourth for the first race.

Better yet, let's go with RHR for the win, Marco second, Wickens third, and Power fourth.

Looks like Dixon wins it over RHR. Rossi was third and Marco was fourth which was an improvement for him.

With the win yesterday, Dixon ties Michael Andretti for third on the all-time IndyCar wins list. Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt are above him and Michael.

Rossi wins the pole for today's Dual number two. Looks like they may run part of this race on wet tires as the rain arrived.

The pace car crashed in Detroit. I've never seen that happen in my life.

As RHR ducks into the pits, Rossi takes over the lead with 18 to go.

Rossi is being heavily pursued by RHR who is closing the gap rapidly with 8 to go.

Rossi got hood-winked and he locks 'em up and RHR blows by him. Rossi didn't listen to his pits about the big picture and he let the pressure of RHR get to him. That was stupid. RHR is going to win this race.

How stupid that was to make that size of mistake just by letting RHR's pressure get to him. Rossi lost both the race and the points lead with one bone-headed mistake.

RHR takes it. First win since 2015. Followed by Will Power who takes over the points lead, Cook, and Dixon, yesterday's winner.
