This Sunday race driver Scott Dixon will lead a field of 33 cars to the start of the Indianapolis 500.

But Dixon says his mind is also on an event the following weekend: The twin Indycar races that comprise the Detroit Grand Prix.

Dixon won earlier this year on the streets of Long Beach, a track that incorporates public roads, just like the course on Belle Isle.

But Dixon tells WDET’s Quinn Klinefelter that the Detroit Grand Prix is unique.
