It was the seventh round of the 2001 CART FedEx Championship Series and the 20th running of the event (13th as a CART race). The 72-lap race was won by Team Penske driver Hélio Castroneves. Dario Franchitti finished second for Team Green, and Patrick Racing's Roberto Moreno clinched third. The beginning of the race weekend was shrouded in controversy when CART introduced a spacer for the cars' engines two days before the race after Toyota accused Honda and Ford-Cosworth of applying less pressure on their pop-off valve to gain more turbocharger boost. Feeling that the spacer was implemented too suddenly to assess its ability, Honda and Ford-Cosworth's teams boycotted the first practice session, though both engine manufacturers eventually relented. The matter was not resolved until July 16, with all three manufacturers agreeing to use the spacer beginning in the Michigan 500. Castroneves set the fastest lap time of qualifying and earned the pole position. He was initially challenged for the lead by Bruno Junqueira before his gearbox failed on lap 29. Junqueira was one of several drivers who experienced a mechanical issue or crashed out of the race because of the track's bumpy and deteriorating surface, notably in turn 12. Franchitti made an aggressive overtake on Patrick Carpentier for second place on the 66th lap, but never outpaced Castroneves, who earned his second win in Detroit and his fifth CART victory. There were four caution flags and no lead changes during the course of the race. Because of his win, Castroneves shortened Kenny Bräck's lead in the Drivers' Championship, while Michael Andretti advanced from seventh to third. Reynard took the Constructors' Cup lead from Lola, and Honda widened their gap over Toyota in the Manufacturers' Cup standings with 14 races remaining in the season. The Detroit Grand Prix was dropped from CART's schedule after 2001 and became an IndyCar Series event in 2007.

The positive momentum that Castroneves built at the beginning of the season, with wins in the Grand Prix of Long Beach and the Indy Racing League (IRL)-sanctioned Indianapolis 500, was derailed when he crashed on the first lap of the preceding Miller Lite 225 at the Milwaukee Mile. This, coupled with Bräck's two consecutive wins at Motegi and Milwaukee, allowed Bräck to dramatically widen his gap over Castroneves.Shaw Jeremy June 3, 2001 Kenny Brack Wins Second Straight http://www.speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/03CART/010603d.html dead https://web.archive.org/web/20011124141915/http://www.speedvision.com/pub/articles/racing/03CART/010603d.html November 24, 2001 June 21, 2026 Speedvision Milwaukee, Wisconsin Despite this, Castroneves expressed anticipation for the Grand Prix of Detroit, as he earned his first CART win in the race the year prior: "I hope to climb the fence again, since that is where the tradition started!
