The IMSA debut on the Detroit downtown street course saw a series of competitive events. Nick Tandy led Porsche to a 1-2 finish in qualifying, securing pole position despite a close encounter with the wall. Cadillac's Pipo Derani ended his qualifying early after hitting the concrete. In the GTD Pro class, Corvette swept the field. During the chaotic 100-minute IMSA super sprint event, Acura's Filipe Albuquerque and Ricky Taylor emerged victorious after a crucial late-race pass on Porsche's Mathieu Jaminet, whose car had been penalized earlier. In the IndyCar series, Colton Herta of Andretti Global secured pole position for the Detroit Grand Prix, narrowly beating Alex Palou. Herta's pole position marks his first in nearly a year, with his last being in Mid-Ohio. The front row for the Detroit GP will feature Herta and Palou, followed by Newgarden, McLaughlin, Dixon, and Kirkwood.
