IndyCar Series Detroit Grand Prix start time, starting grid, how to watch, qualifying, TV channel
The IndyCar Series completes a five-week stretch of on-track action today with the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, a 100-lap race on a 9-turn, 1.645-mile downtown street layout. Colton Herta won pole position here for the second straight year, and Scott Dixon and Graham Rahal were assessed six-position starting grid penalties for unapproved engine changes. Push-to-pass: 150 total seconds, in increments up to 15 seconds. Tire allotment: Five sets of primary tires (six for rookies) and five sets of alternate tires. Teams must use one set of primary tires and one set of new alternate tires for at least two laps in the race. Row 1 1, Colton Herta 2, David Malukas Row 2 3, Kyle Kirkwood 4, Christian Lundgaard Row 3 5, Alex Palou 6, Rinus Veekay Row 4 7, Scott McLaughlin 8, Will Power Row 5 9, Marcus Armstrong 10, Christian Rasmussen Row 6 11, Graham Rahal (had 5th-best qualifying effort) 12, Marcus Ericsson Row 7 13, Louis Foster 14, Felix Rosenqvist Row 8 15, Alexander Rossi 16, Scott Dixon (had 10th-best qualifying result) Row 9 17, Callum Ilott 18, Pato O'Ward Row 10 19, Kyffin Simpson 20, Jacob Abel Row 11 21, Santino Ferrucci 22, Robert Shwartzman Row 12 23, Devlin DeFrancesco 24, Josef Newgarden Row 13 25, Conor Daly 26, Sting Ray Robb Row 14 27, Nolan Siegel Alex Palou, who has won five of the six races. Kyle Kirkwood has one win. Scott Dixon avoided the crashes and penalties on the tight downtown street course to come away with his 58th career win. From Nathan Brown, IndyStar Picking Alex Palou is so obvious that we're barring him from this portion of the preview for a while. Pato O'Ward sits second and Christian Lundgaard third in points, but they're more than two races' worth of max points behind Palou. Who makes a move in the points standings? Marcus Ericsson would have been 10th in points after crossing the finish line second in the Indianapolis 500, but he stands 20th after his car failed post-race tech inspection. He earned his lone podium finish in 2024 in Detroit, and with a similar performance this weekend, Ericsson makes up a lot of the ground he lost in the championship standings in Indy. Something you didn't see coming: At a track where he started on pole last year, but only finished 19th, Detroit seems like as good a track as any for Colton Herta to find some momentum. He sits just 9th in the championship standings with a single top-5 finish. However, the narrow streets of Detroit can be cruel, and somehow Herta and the No. 26 crew leave with a tough result unbecoming of the traditionally dominant street course program of Andretti Global.

Watch Colton Herta's scary wreck in 2025 Indianapolis 500 qualifying The first day of the 2025 Indianapolis 500 qualifying sessions is underway, and one driver has suffered a horrifying wreck. Colton Herta, the driver of the No. 26 car, entered Turn 1 of the his green-flag lap, and found himself upside and into the wall. The No. 26 car got loose, hit the wall, and went upside down before hitting the wall. Thankfully, Herta was able to climb out of the No. 26 car under his own power, but it was a very scary scene. IndyCar's new safety improvements were on full display, proving the sport's need for those innovations. Herta and Andretti Global will be running for the final spot in the 2025 Indy 500 on Sunday. Below, you can watch Herta's scary wreck with his No. 26 car after getting loose on his first qualifying lap. More: 2025 Indianapolis 500 schedule: Practice, qualifying, race times

Who will win the IndyCar Sonsio Grand Prix at Indianapolis? Schedule, TV coverage, expert prediction, streaming
The IndyCar Series comes to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend for an 85-lap race on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course that includes the front straightaway of the oval track. Drivers will be allowed 200 seconds of push-to-pass, in increments of up to 20 seconds. Alex Palou maintains a commanding points lead through four races with three wins and a runner-up finish. Christian Lundgaard has three podium finishes and stands second in points. Alex Palou won for the second consecutive year, beating Will Power by 6.6 seconds. From Nathan Brown, IndyStar Pole position winner: Colton Herta has been a bit of an under-the-radar storyline this year, largely due to race-day issues. Herta hasn't qualified worse than 4th through four races. Though qualifying hasn't been Andretti Global's strong suit recently at the IMS road course, Herta and the No. 26 team make it five straight Fast Six appearances, and narrowly edge Alex Palou, Christian Lundgaard, Pato O'Ward, Felix Rosenqvist and Scott McLaughlin. Race winner: Alex Palou. Boring pick? You bet. But until proven otherwise, I'm going to stop picking against the two-time defending series champ who has won three of the first four races – two in truly dominating fashion. Palou has also won the past two IMS road course races, and Chip Ganassi Racing has won the last three. Palou's winning margin: We're adding a category because "race winner" seems too easy. Let's go with 4 seconds. Odds are we finally get our first caution since Lap 1 at St. Pete, and so what could have been a larger victory is a bit smaller, though plenty comfortable. Something you might not expect: A yellow flag. We see our first caution in 339 laps, and it comes on Lap 1 as the mid-pack weaves through the opening chicane and can't stay side-by-side cleanly before reaching the backstretch.

Every player drafted 26th overall in the last 20 years A look back at the last 20 players selected 26th overall in the NFL draft and how their careers unfolded. Every pick in the NFL draft carries its own history, and the 26th overall selection is no different.
