IndyCar champ tests aero kit at Texas Motor Speedway

IndyCar Series champion Josef Newgarden, Ed Carpenter and Spencer Pigot tested the series’ new aero kit on Wednesday at Texas Motor Speedway.

The full-day test session was the second in less than a month at TMS.

Newgarden, 26, won the 2017 Verizon IndyCar Series championship, joining Sam Hornish Jr. (2006) and Ryan Hunter-Reay (2012) as the only American-born drivers to win the series championship since 2006.

The Verizon IndyCar Series returns in the 2018 season to Texas Motor Speedway on June 9.
