The NASCAR Cup Series is set to return to the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26 for the iconic Brickyard 400, a race that combines the tradition of the 2.5‑mile oval with the modern spectacle of stock car racing.
This year’s event promises a deep field of talent, with Carson Hocevar earning the pole position after a strong qualifying session. He will be joined on the front row by Daniel Suarez, who will look to capitalize on the early advantage.
Defending champion Bubba Wallace, a fan favorite, will start further back in 29th position, setting the stage for a potential comeback story as the race unfolds over 160 laps, covering a total of 400 miles.
