The Texas stop is the seventh round of the eight-stop world championship for the 2015 schedule, according to the press release. Fourteen race pilots will compete throughout the weekend on a 1 1/2-mile, low-level aerial track made up of 80-feet-high, air-filled pylons and will hit speeds up to 230 mph with forces up to 10 Gs.

Germany's Matthias Dolderer was the fastest pilot on Saturday, finishing the course in 55.584 seconds, while points leader Paul Bonhomme, of Britain, finished in sixth.

Bonhomme and Australia's Matt Hall, who finished in fourth, are battling for the championship. Bonhomme could clinch the championship on Sunday if he wins and Hall finishes in fourth or lower, or if he finishes second and Hall finishes seventh or lower.
