Andretti Global driver Kyle Kirkwood won the last street-circuit race of the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 13.

Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing won the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg presented by RP Funding on March 2.

Palou’s teammate Scott Dixon is the defending winner of the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear.

Given Honda’s dominance on street courses, scoring 10 wins in the last 11 tries since the start of the 2023 season, this could signify a Chip Ganassi Racing vs. Andretti Global battle for Sunday’s Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear (12:30 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network).

Pato O’Ward’s 2024 St. Petersburg win, driving the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, was the lone exception.

Kirkwood, Dixon, Palou, Felix Rosenqvist, Scott McLaughlin and Christian Lundgaard are the six drivers to finish in the top 10 at both street course races this season.

How many will remain on that list after an action-packed weekend around the 1.645 mile, nine-turn street circuit?
