IndyCar's Texas Motor Speedway Race Brings Exciting Results and Boosts Crowds.
The first event held in a new contract between Penske Entertainment and Speedway Motorsports Incorporated’s Texas Motor Speedway produced a double-digit percentage increase in attendance for the NTT IndyCar Series PPG 375 race, won by Josef Newgarden. TMS did not release a figure for crowd size, but the visible growth in the grandstands is a positive sign for the SMI circuit, which is working to recapture IndyCar’s glory days. TMS EVP and GM Mark Faber said that there is still much to be done to build on the momentum created last weekend, but they are moving in the right direction.
