INDYCAR and Texas Motor Speedway announced a four-year extension agreement today for the Verizon IndyCar Series to continue racing at the 1.5-mile superspeedway through 2022.

Texas Motor Speedway has been a staple of the INDYCAR schedule since the track opened in 1997. It has hosted 30 Indy car races in that time, the most recent won by Scott Dixon in June. TMS hosted two series races a year from 1998-2004, a doubleheader on the same night in 2011 and a single race in all other years since 1997.

The 2019 Verizon IndyCar Series race at the oval in Fort Worth, Texas, is scheduled to be run under the lights once again, on Saturday, June 8, 2019. In conjunction with the sanctioning agreement announcement, Texas Motor Speedway announced that DXC Technology, the one of the leading independent, end-to-end IT services company, will return as the race sponsor of what will again be titled the DXC Technology 600.

“This oval track annually produces some of the most exciting racing of the season, contributes to the diversity of the schedule and helps us continue the oval heritage of Indy car racing. It’s good to know that Texas will remain a mainstay of the Verizon IndyCar Series for years to come,” Hulman & Company (owner of INDYCAR) CEO Mark Miles said.

The entire 2019 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule is expected to be announced in September.
