DETROIT, May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pietro Fittipaldi, driver of the No. 30 5-hour ENERGY® Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLL) Honda, will be competing this weekend in the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, taking place May 31 to June 2 on the streets of Detroit.
“The Detroit Grand Prix holds a special place in the Fittipaldi family history,” said IndyCar Driver Pietro Fittipaldi. “While the Indy 500 didn’t go as planned, I’m excited to race on a street circuit with a rich history and to chase a win for myself and the team.”
Fittipaldi’s No. 30 car is sponsored by 5-hour ENERGY®. 5-hour ENERGY®, founded by global philanthropist, Manoj Bhargava, is headquartered near Detroit and is celebrating its 20th anniversary by returning to the world of motorsports.
