The Chevy 500 Indy Racing Northern Light Series event has been postponed until Saturday, Oct. 6, officials from the Indy Racing League and Texas Motor Speedway announced today.
The season-ending Chevy 500 will start at 3 p.m. (CDT) Oct. 6 and be televised live on ESPN2. Further details of the event schedule will be announced at a later date. "Due to the postponement and cancellation of other events around the country, we have decided that it would be best to delay our race in Texas," said Brian Barnhart, Indy Racing League vice president of operations. "We have consulted closely with Texas Motor Speedway and
NASCAR officials over this decision."
Earlier it was announced that the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Silverado 350, scheduled for this weekend at TMS, would be rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. (CDT) Oct. 5.
"We are asking our teams and our fans to join Americans everywhere in remembering those who lost their lives in the terrible terrorist attack on the United States early this week," Barnhart said. "Our thoughts, prayers and sympathy remain with everyone affected by the tragic events."
Plans for the Indy Racing League Awards Ceremony, which was to take place Sept. 17 in Texas, will be announced later.
