Texas Motor Speedway announced today that it will retain its traditional date on the Verizon IndyCar Series calendar for 2015.

The Firestone 600 will be contested June 4-6 and be telecast on NBCSN. It is the 19th consecutive season that the track in Fort Worth will host a Verizon IndyCar Series race.

Ed Carpenter held off Will Power and three other drivers on a restart in the final three laps this past June to win for the first time at the 1.5-mile, high-banked oval.

“I am very happy to hear that the Verizon IndyCar Series will be heading back to Texas next year,” said Carpenter, owner/driver of the No. 20 Fuzzy’s Ultra Premium Vodka car for Ed Carpenter Racing. “I have always enjoyed racing at the track. Our races have changed a lot over the years, but it has always been one of the best stops on the schedule.
