Official Release

"Today was good. We got through a lot of things we wanted to test. It’s kind of frustrating not being the quickest Honda now that we have been a couple of times. I think we’re creeping up on this though. At the end of the day, on the theoreticals, we’re quickest so we need to put the lap together."

The initial pre-season test for all 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series participants brought new excitement with the introduction of the Chevrolet and Honda bodywork aero kits.

Chevrolet and Honda have unveiled computer-generated models of their road/street course and short oval aerodynamic bodywork platforms, and the radical packages will spring to life March 16-17 when Verizon IndyCar Series teams convene at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala., for the initial multi-day on-track examination.

A.J. Foyt is becoming more active as he continues to recuperate from triple bypass surgery in November.

Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (RLLR) and driver Graham Rahal completed their first test day with Honda’s all-new aerodynamic kit today at the 2.67-mile NOLA Motorsports Park road course. The team previously tested at this track February 10-11.

This week at Barber Motorsports Park, INDYCAR is testing new technology that will track each car's position on the racetrack and display it in real time via a LED display panel on each side of the chassis. The series is targeting the implementation of the track positioning system, which will also display when a driver triggers the push-to-pass feature, for early in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series season.

Richard Childress Racing teammates Ryan Newman, Paul Menard and Austin Dillon finished third, 14th and 15th, respectively.

Kevin Harvick did something Sunday that no driver had ever done in the 52-year history of Phoenix International Raceway. The 39-year-old from Bakersfield, Calif. scored a victory in his fourth consecutive race in the same professional series at the legendary one-mile oval in the Arizona desert, leading 224 of 312 laps to win the CampingWorld.com 500.

Kevin Harvick dominated the CampingWorld.com 500 in his No. 4 Jimmy John’s/Budweiser Chevrolet SS by leading 224 of the 312-laps en route to his fourth straight victory at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR). The win extends the reigning champion’s top two finishing streak to seven, making him the first driver to achieve that feat since Richard Petty in 1975.

Martin Truex Jr. set two team records as he once again showed his mettle with a come-from-behind seventh-place finish Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway.
