The races had a variety of different title sponsors and distances over the years, and therefore the Texas round has changed names frequently.

Texas Motor Speedway was removed from the schedule for the 2024 season after the series and track were unable to agree on a date.

[5] In addition, the start time was moved to 9:00 p.m. CDT (10:00 p.m. EDT) so the event would take place almost entirely under the lights, rather than in the mid-summer twilight.

[6] The race was slightly shortened to 300 miles and 200 laps in 2020, due to COVID-19 pandemic protocols that used same-day practice and qualifying for the event.

It was considered unfair by some,[9] and it was magnified when points contenders Will Power and Dario Franchitti drew 3rd and 28th starting positions, respectively.

In 2021 Texas hosted a twin-race weekend with two separate points-paying events, named the Genesys 300 and XPEL 375 and held on May 1 and 2 respectively.

[10] Qualifying for both rounds was canceled due to rain, with the starting grid decided by the championship standings entering each race.

Álex Palou, competing for Chip Ganassi Racing, was awarded pole position for the Genesys 300 as he was the points leader following the previous round at St. Petersburg.

"[12] All but four drivers reported they had experienced vertigo-like symptoms due to lateral g-forces from driving in excess of 230 mph (370 km/h) on the steep 24 degree banks.

Starting in 2019 Texas Motor Speedway began to apply PJ1 TrackBite on the high portion of the banking on the track.

IndyCar drivers have become very critical of the track at Texas in recent years and have complained that the PJ1 results in racing that is both uninteresting and unsafe at the same time.

[14][15] For 2022 IndyCar and Dallara unveiled bargeboards for use at Texas in an attempt to open up the portions of the track coated with PJ1 to the drivers.

The bargeboards are expected to add an additional 200 pounds of downforce on top of the UAK18 superspeedway aero kit and will be optional for teams to use during both qualifying and the race.
