TheFirestone Twin 275s were the sixth and seventh races of the2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season. The races took place on June 11, on the 1.455-mile (2.342 km)Texas Motor Speedway inFort Worth,Texas, and was telecasted byVersus in theUnited States.
The race was unique in its format of two 114-lap races, with each race was for half points. The second race grid positions were determined by a random draw.
These would ultimately be the last two races ofDavey Hamilton's career. Hamilton would be entered into the2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship at Las Vegas, however the race would be red flagged due to a huge crash that claimed the life of two time championDan Wheldon. The race would not be restarted and as the race had not gone enough distance to be called official, no results were recorded, making these the final two races of Davey Hamilton's career.
Race two would mark the last time for 66 races that every car finished a race. The next time this would happen would be the2015 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
