IndyCar Double-Header, NASCAR Trucks, Ultimate Drifting Highlight Texas Race Week

A very unique double-header from the IndyCar Series will headline the Firestone Twin 275s race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.

Everything gets started on Thursday, June 9, with practice and Samsung Galaxy Tab Qualifying for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series...(which will be really interesting after Richard Childress put Kyle Busch in a headlock, and punched him in the head after this last weekends truck race.) See more on that below...

Friday, June 10 has practice and Samsung Galaxy Tab Qualifying for the IndyCar Series, as well as the Friday night WinStar World Casino 400 Truck Series race, and maybe someone else will punch Kyle Busch in the head again.

Saturday, June 11 is the MAIN EVENT. To kick off the day, the souvenir midway will feature TRAFFIK, one of the largest touring car shows in the world. The TRAFFIK car show will be held from 1-6 p.m. outside Gates 1 through 3. Then, as part of the pre-race festivities, pit lane and the frontstretch will transform into a winding course for eight Formula DRIFT drivers competing in Ultimate Drifting Presented by Scion and Motegi Racing. The evening will conclude with “America’s Original Nighttime IndyCar Race,” the Firestone Twin 275s. The first race of the double-header will line up based on Friday’s qualifying. The second race will line up based on a random draw that will be held during the halftime between the two races.

We still have that VIP Prize package in the free VIP Rewards Club... but you are running out of time to ENTER!
