Kind of a weird first race, altho Detroit has always has a tendency to produce weird races. Big crash for Rosenqvist, who suddenly went full-throttle in the middle of a corner, and straight into the wall. Unclear if there was a mechanical/electrical failure, or his feet got tangled on the pedals, or what; altho Jimmy Johnson lost many laps with a throttle position sensor failure which left him with only part throttle, suggesting that maybe there's a batch of defective throttle sensors around. Power lead the greater part of the race (with Dixon taking a chunk of the middle on pit strategy), until Grosjean, who'd complained all race that something was broken in the rear suspension, hit the wall. Indycar stopped everyone on pit road while they got Grosjean's car out of the way, after which Power's car would not re-fire. Marcus Ericsson lead the last 4 laps for his first win.
(not gonna post on the Xfinity race because it's not worth it - flipped over after the Indy race, they were in commercial. Did a couple of chores, came back, they were just going to commercial. Went to do a couple other things, came back, they were in side-by-side commercial. Kyle Busch ended up winning it.)
