It's Detroit Grand Prix weekend and, if you haven't seen the race course on the streets of downtown, it's quite a sight. This is the first time in decades the annual IndyCar race in Detroit is not on Belle Isle as it returns to its roots, with a course that passes the iconic Renaissance Center, along Jefferson Ave. and several other busy Detroit streets.

The Grand Prix is back on the streets of Detroit for the first time in 32 years. Drivers from the IMSA Michelin Pilot Series, Trans Am Series, Indy NXT series and the IndyCar Series all made it to the city Thursday for the Grand Prix Media Luncheon at the Renaissance Center. For many of the drivers, this isn't their first time in Detroit, but it's everyone's first time on the city's brand new course.

We are now less than 100 days away from the start of the 2023 NFL season, which means it will not be too much longer until our Detroit Lions defend Ford Field against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. But before the Lions begin their season, their home turf will be used for one of the biggest concert tours in the world as pop superstar Taylor Swift will be coming to the Motor City for concerts on June 9th and 10th. As you will see in the eerie-looking photo below (Credit to Grace for the photo), the preparations for the Swift concert are underway.

DETROIT – In a little less than 10 hours from now, race cars will be roaring through the streets of Downtown Detroit. The first cars hit the track at 8:30 a.m. Friday (June 2) to practice for the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. And when we say cars will be speeding through downtown, Local 4 means it.

DETROIT (AP) — Claressa Shields is perhaps in the prime of her career, establishing a big enough name as a two-time Olympic gold medalist and world champion in three weight classes to headline the first boxing card in the six-year history of Little Caesars Arena in the Motor City. The undisputed middleweight champion became the first woman to earn a seven-figure payday in her last two fights and is expected to make another $1 million Saturday night when she faces top-ranked contender Maricela Cornejo in the home of the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons. Shields grew up poor in Flint, Michigan, and has earned enough money to become rich at 28. Still, she laments the gender inequities in boxing.

DETROIT – Four hours before IndyCar turned its first laps in downtown Detroit in more than 30 years, Alex Palou was telling a scrum of reporters Sunday’s 100-lap race around the 1.7-mile street course could be a bit of a snoozer. “It’s all first and second-gear corners. At...

(CBS DETROIT) - Arguably, one of the most important aspects of any automotive race is the pit spot. Bryan Hopp went from being a fan to a fixture of a team dedicated to winning. Hopp is a pit crew member of RS1, a team that fields the No. 28 Porsche 718 GT4 RS CS in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge series. "I was always going to races anyway, so it just kind of became a thing," said Hopp. "I met the team owner, and he gave me a job, and I kind of just fit right in."Check out more 2023 Detroit Grand Prix...
