Texas cites date clash in being dropped from 2024 IndyCar schedule
The Texas Motor Speedway has been hosting North America’s premier open-wheel championship, the IndyCar Series, since 1997. The track used to hold two events per year from 1998-2004, including season finales. However, a date agreement for the 2024 season could not be reached between the Texas Motor Speedway and IndyCar. This was disappointing for both the race fans and the track, but they expressed a continued commitment to a positive working relationship. The track has also hosted NASCAR events every year since 1997, but there have been scheduling challenges due to potential date changes and the Summer Olympics next year. Texas Motor Speedway underwent renovations in 2017, including a repave, reconstruction, and reconfiguration, to address issues like weepers on the track. Scott Dixon holds the record for the most wins in IndyCar at TMS, with five victories.
