Race 2 of Chevrolet Dual in Detroit presented by Quicken Loans
• Race notes: A wet, raw day is forecast for the Detroit area. Rain tires with a grooved tread pattern that improves grip, control and helps prevent hydroplaning could be used throughout the 70-lap/two-hour timed (whichever comes first) event. Each entry was allotted seven sets for the race weekend. ... If the circuit remains wet throughout, the strategy obviously changes -- even from Race 1, when teams picked the best time to switch from rain tires to slicks and back again.
• Race 2 qualifications: The starting lineup was set by entrant points as INDYCAR discontinued qualifications because of deteriorating track conditions caused by persistent rain. Team Penske's Juan Pablo Montoya and Will Power will start on the front row.
For Race 1, Power led a Team Penske 1-2-3 sweep of the top positions with a qualifying lap record in the Firestone Fast Six session at 1 minute, 16.0941 seconds (111.178 mph). Ride along with Power on the circuit HERE.
