We’re just under 80 days until the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear, and with the huge success of it returning to Downtown Detroit, the racers are already looking forward to the race.
One of those racers, Pato O’Ward, appeared on “Live in The D” to talk about the excitement. As a member of the Arrow McLaren Indycar team, O’Ward had a great start to the season with taking 2nd place in St. Petersburg just last weekend.
He’s also had a lot of success in Detroit with three top five finishes, and a win on Belle Isle in 2021. “I love Belle Isle, I have a lot of great memories there. Downtown Detroit is a different vibe, people are super excited there,” he said. He also says Downtown is “a challenging track.”
While he is not on the track O’Waro says he enjoys being outdoors, on the water, and driving things like jet skis.
Tickets for the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix are on sale now and can be found here.
