The 2023 IndyCar season saw the series return to downtown Detroit, Michigan after more than a decade of racing on Belle Isle. "The Motor City" had not hosted a race since 1991, and now it is scheduled to host a race for the second year in a row.
Traditional knockout qualifying is set to be used to determine the starting lineup for the 100-lap race around the nine-turn, 1.645-mile (2.647-kilometer) temporary street circuit.
The qualifying groups are determined by the results of the second practice session. The fastest six drivers in each group advance to the second round, where the fastest six drivers advance to the Firestone Fast Six to battle for the pole position.
The drivers who don't make it out of the first group are set to line up on the inside row, and the drivers who don't make it out of the second group line up on the outside row.
Last year's race was won by polesitter Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing.
