The Grand Prix on Belle Isle has run its final lap.
One second separated first place Will Power and second-place Alexander Rossi when the checkered flag waved.
The Australian driver called it "a very enjoyable race" in his post-race interview. It was a very different outcome for Power from 2021 when his car overheated and wouldn't restart following a one-car crash which took him out of contention.
Josef Newgarden led the field of 26 cars when he won the pole position in qualifying with a best lap time of 1’15.215.
He was followed by Takuma Sato in second position, Simon Pagenaud in third, Helio Castroneves in fourth, and 2021's winner Patricio O'Ward in fifth.
Swedish driver Marcus Ericsson, who won the 2022 Indianapolis 500 and leads the IndyCar Series in points, started in eighth position and finished seventh.
There were no cautions in this year's race, despite on and off rain, and only three cars didn't finish: Graham Rahal who hit a wall early in the race, Castroneves whose car suffered an electrical issue, and IndyCar rookie Kyle Kirkwood who was looking at a top 10 finish, but took damage to his left rear side late in the race.
The Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear has used the Belle Isle circuit on and off since 1992 when it moved from its original track through the downtown streets. The race was put on hiatus in 2001 but revived in 2007 as part of the IndyCar series.
The City of Windsor has been a corporate sponsor of the Detroit Grand Prix for several years.
When the race returns for 2023, it will use a condensed course in downtown Detroit with the GM Renaissance Center as the centrepiece.
