IndyCar driver Oriol Servia has apologized for blasting Texas Motor Speedway been reached for comment.

"First of all, I'm really sorry for my tweets about Texas," he wrote at @OriolServia. "It was the wrong channel and the wrong way period. I love Texas and the Texas race fans. They have always shown their support to IndyCar and myself. I would hate to disappoint them and I have total admiration for the people of the sport and those who promote the series. My tweets were unprofessional and I apologize for my language to Texas Motor Speedway, (track president and general manager) Eddie Gossage, our sponsors, the fans, and IndyCar. I should not have said those things and I'm sorry."

An IndyCar spokesman said CEO Randy Bernard is aware of the tweet but has not acted on it. Panther Racing owner John Barnes was fined $25,000 last month for a tweet deemed detrimental to the series. Indy Star
