The IndyCar Firestone 600 race in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Texas Motor Speedway will start a 8 p.m. on NBCSN and a live stream is here.
Will Power with Penske will start from pole position after beating everyone else in qualifying.
“I was actually surprised by the speed on the first lap and thought ‘I have to do it again,’” said Power, according to Crash.net. “I’m very focused on the race. Last year, Helio was very strong, so I'll try to get a car that strong for the race if I can.”
His teammate Juan Pablo Montoya managed to get fourth place in qualifying.
“I had a bit of an understeer with the Verizon Chevy, but I’m pretty happy with that lap,” he said. “We tested here a couple of months ago and I think we learned a lot. The weather is nowhere close to the same as it was then, but hopefully we can still apply some of the things we learned.”
Josef Newgardem with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing got seocnd.
“We have just as good a chance of winning this race as anyone out there in the field,” he told Fox Sports.
