IndyCar crashes at Detroit: Incidents on the tight downtown track

The IndyCar Series raced on the streets of Detroit on Sunday, a change after decades of racing on nearby Belle Isle.

The 9-turn, 1.7-mile downtown circuit offered changing surfaces, tight corners, narrow lanes and little room to pass in many areas. Plenty of drivers expressed frustration with the track during Saturday's qualifying.

Many compared it to the first year on Nashville's downtown circuit in 2021. That race featured 17 caution periods for yellow-flag running for 69 of the 160 laps.

Here are Sunday's incidents:

Lap 93: Sting Ray Robb and Santino Ferrucci

Robb and Ferrucci make contact and stall on track. They get restarted and fall back in line. Caution.

Lap 87: David Malukas

David Malukas hits the wall as the leaders are taking the restart. Another caution.

Lap 80: Romain Grosjean

Romain Grosjean hits the wall while racing in the top 10 and is out.

Lap 51: Graham Rahal and Benjamin Pederdsen

Rahal crashes by himself under caution, and Pedersen, coming around a corner, can't avoid Rahal. Pedersen resumes racing.

Lap 50: Sting Ray Robb

Sting Ray Robb runs off track, bringing out a yellow. He gets back on track.

Lap 43: Pato O'Ward

Pato O'Ward, who fell a lap behind with a bad pit stop, is done after hitting the wall. He carried too much speed into a pass of Santino Ferrucci and could complete the turn.

Lap 2: Callum Ilott and Kyle Kirwood

Ilott's car climbed up the back of Kirkwood's in Turn 3. Kirkwood got a new rear wing and resumed racing. The prospects are bleaker for Ilott. (Lap 1 was run under yellow after race officials waved off the start for the field being too spread out.)
