The 2023 Indy 500 winner hopes to keep the momentum going on new Detroit IndyCar street circuit.
This weekend, it's back on the ground floor for Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden and the NTT IndyCar Series for the first Detroit street race in two decades following a long and successful run on Belle Isle.
Newgarden, who grew up near Nashville has served as an ambassador of sorts for the Detroit street race for much of the past 18 months since the idea of moving the race from nearby Belle Isle Park to downtown was hatched. He spent time during the offseason promoting the new race for organizing committees, volunteers and Detroit-area media.. "This is our backyard at Team Penske. I'm excited. I think this is going to be a tremendous event. It's a big win for the city.
"The track itself is always hard to predict until you drive it," Newgarden said. "Let's see, but I think it could be very exciting. It's got great potential, and I'm hoping for a strong weekend.
