Texas Motorspeedway Race Week – Friday
TMS always seems to rock the truck races. Maybe it’s something about trucks in Texas, but the fans, the heat and the energy of those trucks seems to bring out something unique and awesome.
Let’s hope that carries over into tonite’s race. 8:30 pm (Eastern,) according to NASCAR’s broadcast schedule.
IndyCars, on the other hand, have a more, eh, “checkered” history at Texas. And I’m not just talkin’ about flags. From cancelled races (a CART event, I believe) to AJ Foyt and Arie Luyendyk’s little to-do in victory circle, way back in 1997(!), open wheel races at Texas always have a sort of raw feel about them.
Running them at night seems to help create that edge, too. If you’re in Texas and you’ve never seen the lights gleam off those little rocket cars, it’s worth the trip.
Let’s catch up with Texas race week.
