Firestone 550 Izod Indy Car Race at Texas Motor Speedway

Again, it's a GREAT weekend at Texas Motor Speedway! The Firestone 550 Izod Indy Car race comes to town this June 9th. Of course I have to support our American open wheel racing! Though Texas is not a road course, I'll get over it. If you ever get a chance to even go out and see an Indy Car race, do so! Not much will be able to take that sound of roaring flat plane V6 with forced induction. Now the cars are running off of E85 these days which is an interesting change from years past. But Chevrolet has long supported its mission to utilize alternative fuels in racing as can be seen from some of their project cars and racing teams.



Now, back to the Indy Car series. Will Power is the current points leader in the series and Scott Dixon in a shallow distance of second. Helio Castroneves and Dario Franchiti do have a battle for third though and it will be interesting to see how the next couple races play out, but there is plenty of racing left in the season. Check out more info about the race in Texas here!
