FORT WORTH, Texas –  NTT IndyCar Series drivers Simon Pagenaud, Josef Newgarden, Scott Dixon and Fred Rosenqvist will battle on the streets of downtown Thursday morning when they compete in the Cowtown Pit Stop Challenge presented by Speedy Cash.

The four drivers and their respective pit crews will compete head to head in a pit crew competition.  

The event will be held from 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. on W. 2nd Street between Taylor Street and Burnett Street (behind the Fort Worth Central Library).  This event is free and open to the public.

The NTT IndyCar Series drivers will be competing Saturday night in the DXC Technology 600 race at Texas Motor Speedway.  The cars that will be used for the street competition will be the same ones the drivers will reach speeds of more than 220 mph on the TMS tri-oval Thursday evening during the IndyCar Series first night practice from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
