FORT WORTH, Texas – The Rainguard Water Sealers 600 INDYCAR/NASCAR doubleheader will become a haven for off-road enthusiasts with thrilling additions to the June 8-10 race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway.
While the NASCAR Camping World Trucks Series Rattlesnake 400 on Friday, June 9, and Verizon IndyCar Series Rainguard Water Sealers 600 on Saturday, June 10, remain as the marquee events, Texas Motor Speedway is expanding the weekend entertainment and value with the debut of the Texas Off-Road Ruckus in the speedway infield.
The two-day Texas Off-Road Ruckus will feature racing action from the high-flying Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks as well as an expo and interactive areas for off-road enthusiasts. The events are free to anyone who purchases a race ticket for that coinciding day.
The Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks will have a unique layout in the infield that features multiple jumps, including one into the South Paddock area and an under-over jump, as well as racing on the asphalt of pit lane and a portion of the frontstretch in front of the grandstands.

There will be a stage race from 5-5:30 p.m. and then the championship race that will begin 30 minutes following the checkered flag for the Rainguard Water Sealers 600.
During those two days from 10 a.m.-8 p.m., the Texas Off-Road Ruckus expo and interactive activities for enthusiasts of jeeps, trucks, Utility Terrain Vehicles, buggies and performance will be taking place in the infield inside of Turn 2.
