Managing Detroit Grand Prix's return to downtown will provide trial run for 2024 NFL Draft

Detroit — As Detroit Grand Prix organizers put the finishing touches on preparations for the return of auto racing to the downtown streets, Mayor Mike Duggan is eager to see what can be applied for upcoming events, namely next year’s NFL Draft.

With the backdrop of the Renaissance Center and standing in the middle of what will be a two-sided pit lane for the three-day Detroit Grand Prix that begins June 2, one of several signs featuring “Speed Limit 200” was unveiled Thursday. They will be sprinkled throughout the grounds and are sure to be a selfie staple.
