Via Motorsport.com
Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda driver Charlie Kimball says the repaving work on the 1.25-mile oval at Gateway Motorsports Park will create a great race for the Verizon IndyCar Series.
Kimball turned the first ceremonial laps on the new track surface that track owner and CEO Curtis Francois called for following several instances of cut tires during the IndyCar test in early May.
After driving a Honda Accord street car around the track in Madison, Ill., Kimball told IndyCar.com: “I think it’s awesome. The investment made to repave and update the surface is significant.
“The fact that we’re coming back in August to a much smoother racetrack than we tested on is going to create a lot better racing for Verizon IndyCar Series cars under the lights.”
