IndyCar will continue to race at the Texas Motor Speedway following confirmation of a new four-year contract between the series and circuit.
The DXC Technology 600 had already been confirmed on the provisional 2019 schedule, taking place on June 8, but will continue through to 2023 following the confirmation of a new deal.
"Texas Motor Speedway is the second home of IndyCar racing, and we are thrilled to extend our partnership with the IndyCar Series and with DXC Technology," said president Eddie Gossage. "We are pleased to have negotiated a sanction agreement that allows Texas Motor Speedway to move forward with IndyCar.
"So many great moments in this sport have occurred at Texas Motor Speedway. This is and always will be ‘America’s Original Nighttime IndyCar Race.’ Photo finishes and Victory Lane drama have been the standard over the years. No other track has seen as many Verizon IndyCar Series races over the last two-plus decades. I think Texas Motor Speedway has been good for IndyCar racing and IndyCar racing has been good for Texas Motor Speedway."
The speedway has long been a part of the series and is the second longest running Oval circuit on the calendar after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Texas could see a pair of races in 2019 as negotiations with the Circuit of the Americas are ongoing.
