Kimball, Dixon uncertain how Texas track changes will affect racing
Via Motorsport.com
Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda duo Charlie Kimball and Scott Dixon have admitted they’re heading into tonight’s IndyCar race at Texas Motor Speedway with question marks over how much grip can be found at the reprofiled Turns 1 and 2.
As well as improving the drainage system, the changes at TMS since last year’s IndyCar race here included re-profiling Turns 1 and 2 to make them 20 feet wider, and lowering the banking at that end from 24 to 20 degrees. Kimball, who will lead Dixon to the green flag in the Rainguard Water Sealers 600 this evening after scoring his first ever IndyCar pole position, says those changes have given the track a different nature at either end and created question marks for the drivers.
