Given that IndyCar \u2014unlike NASCAR \u2014 races rain or shine, the poster is appropriate for a brutal street race that has often tested drivers\u2019 nerves in the wet.<\/p>\n<p>Mahoney took the podium from a field of five finalists culled from 19 CCS student entries. Lexi Pape and Dan Rees place second and third respectively with strong compositions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the most diverse field of entries we\u2019ve had yet for this competition,\u201d said Bud Denker, Grand Prix chairman and one of seven judges to award the prize at CCS Thursday. \u201cThis contest is a special part of the Detroit Grand Prix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mahoney won $1,000 for her entry, which she will further tweak with Grand Prix design staff to be presented in official form on April 26. The poster image will be on sale at the race events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis process was a lot of fun,\u201d said Mahoney, who specializes in CCS\u2019s Illustration program. \u201cIt was great to see everyone\u2019s design come to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She is a veteran of the Woodward Dream Cruise \u2014 but has never been to the Detroit Grand Prix. She will attend this year \u2014as will the other four finalists. Their work will also be on display at the Grand Prix\u2019s June 2 charity gala.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every great auto race is remembered for its winner \u2014 and its poster.
