The NTT IndyCar Series returns to action this weekend with a doubleheader in Detroit. The series will race both Saturday and Sunday in the Detroit Grand Prix at Belle Isle Park. IndyCar has had remarkable parity so far this season, with six different winners from five different teams through six races. One team that has not recorded a victory is Team Penske, which considers Detroit a home race of sorts with team and series owner Roger Penske’s ties to the area. Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves will not be racing in an IndyCar this weekend. The four-time “500” winner will compete in five more races later this season for Meyer Shank Racing.
