Rahal's Honda-power car finished 1.17 seconds ahead of Josef Newgarden's Chevrolet, a day after getting to the checkered flag six-plus seconds ahead of the competition.

With the victory, Rahal became the first two-time winner of the 2017 IndyCar season.

Rahal became the first to sweep in Detroit since it began hosting doubleheaders in 2013.
