ADMIT1 (2026 Ep 10): Detroit Grit: How We Survived 100 Laps in the Motor City

Detroit grit: finding a way when the odds aren't exactly in your favor. With an injured foot from the Indianapolis 500, Josef took on the Detroit Grand Prix, knowing it wouldn't be easy. Starting 21st, finishing 10th, and gaining 11 positions around the streets of Detroit? That's a hard-earned day's work. The real MVPs, though, were the men and women on the 2 crew. Strong car. Smart strategy. Flawless pit stops. They did the heavy lifting and put Josef in position to make the most of it. Just a gritty Detroit kind of day. 💪🏁   / josefnewgarden     / josefnewgarden     / josefnewgarden   Josef Newgarden is a two-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES Champion (2017, 2019) and back-to-back Indianapolis 500 winner (2023, 2024), cementing his place among the sport’s modern greats.
