Though the Bombardier Learjet 550k from Texas Motor Speedway on June 7 was tape-delayed, it was the highest-rated (1.0) and most-viewed (939,160 households) IndyCar Series race ever on ESPN2.
The white-knuckled race won by Scott Dixon also was the second-most viewed IndyCar Series race in ESPN/ESPN2 history, trailing only the 2005 event at Kansas Speedway on ESPN.
