A select few, however, had the opportunity to ride shotgun with a professional race car driver in the brand-new Corvette E-Ray hybrid pace cars on Friday.
The president of the Detroit Grand Prix, Michael Montri, stated, “We’ll have five drivers here today, they will be signing autographs.” “You can get in a car and ride around the Detroit Grand Prix race track here inside the Huntington Place Center, It will be an exciting day.”
All things IndyCar, a sport that is still expanding, were on display on Race Day.
“The access that you get in our series to all the drivers, I keep telling people it’s like going to a Lions game and walking into the locker room at halftime and talking to all the players.”
FOX 2 is the new home of IndyCar racing, in case you missed Race Day or are simply an avid fan. You can watch every race, including the Detroit Grand Prix, on FOX from March through August.
