P16 is where Felix Rosenqvist will start Sunday in Detroit after a week of nonstop appearances following his May 24 Indianapolis 500 win.
Hours of post-race media, a Monday victory celebration, New York interviews, stops at the Empire State Building and Times Square, a Brendan Fraser movie premiere, and a Tigers first pitch filled the days between races.
Two weeks after becoming a father, Rosenqvist said he was tired but embraced the schedule, calling it a chance to represent motorsports while attention is high.
Detroit offers an immediate test of whether he can extend that momentum: no driver has won the next IndyCar race after the Indy 500 in quite some time, while championship leader Alex Palou starts on pole.
