For this calendar year, at least. Citing the growing incidences of the COVID-19 Delta variant and increased measures announced recently by State and local officials to stop its spread, organizers announced today there will not be a show this year after all. The plan was for the event to kick off August 19, after having previously been rescheduled four times.

Now organizers are instead looking forward to April 2022, a point at which they ‘firmly believe’ they will once again be able to host the world’s motoring press and the general public.

Tigers president/CEO Christopher Ilitch spoke with reporters (including Chris McCosky of The Detroit News and Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press) this afternoon. Most notably, Ilitch addressed the upcoming offseason and suggested the Tigers could pursue some bigger-ticket acquisitions as they near the end of their rebuild.
“
(General manager Al Avila) and his team are very focused on continuing to improve our team. We see the long-term efforts put forth by his team and we see the emergence of a young core,” Ilitch said. “
And I think Al feels we need to continue to improve our ballclub in a high, impactful way. I very much support the approach he and his team have taken building a young core of talent and now having the desire to bring in high-impact players to fill that out. I’m very supportive of that.”
