Kirkwood Claims Detroit Grand Prix—But Ferrucci’s Charge Shakes Up IndyCar Standings

Kyle Kirkwood delivered a standout performance at the 2025 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, capturing victory after a dramatic 100-lap battle on the streets of Downtown Detroit. Kirkwood, racing for Andretti Global, crossed the finish line in:00:20.0264, holding off Santino Ferrucci of A.J. Foyt Enterprises by just.6 seconds.

Ferrucci’s late surge, including leading laps 71 to 78, put pressure on Kirkwood, but the Andretti driver regained the lead and controlled the closing stages. Colton Herta, also with Andretti Global, rounded out the podium in third place.

The race saw multiple lead changes and incidents, with Alex Palou retiring after a crash and several drivers facing mechanical issues. The result shakes up the IndyCar standings, with Kirkwood earning 53 points for the win and Ferrucci collecting 41 for his runner-up finish.

The next stop on the IndyCar schedule will be crucial as the championship battle intensifies following the action-packed Detroit Grand Prix.
