This year's @detroitgp had the most position passes of any Detroit race and the second-most on-track passes since records became available in 2018. When adjusted for miles completed, which accounts for car count, race distance, track length and attrition during the race, the Position Passing Index was the highest ever at 4.46 passes per 100 miles.
