NASCAR is set to make its highly anticipated return to the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend, bringing the iconic Brickyard 400 to the storied 2.5‑mile oval. The Cup Series will feature 39 teams on Sunday, July 26, with a deep field that includes veteran campaigners such as Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick, all eyeing a coveted spot in the playoffs.
A weekend of historic racing
The action kicks off a day earlier with the Pennzoil 250 on Saturday, July 25, where all 38 drivers on the roster will take the green flag. Among the notable entries are Connor Zilisch, Ross Chastain and Chase Elliott, each bringing a blend of road‑course pedigree and championship experience to the track.
Odds for the Brickyard 400 are being posted by Caesar’s Sportsbook as of Tuesday, July 21, giving fans a glimpse of the market’s expectations. The race will be televised live on TNT, streamed on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s own platform, and carried on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90. A companion broadcast will also air on CW, ensuring multiple viewing options for enthusiasts.
Adding to the narrative, last year’s Brickyard 400 was won by Bubba Wallace, while the 2023 Pennzoil 250 was claimed by Connor Zilisch, setting a high bar for this weekend’s competitors.
With the stakes raised and the roster stacked, the upcoming weekend promises a blend of tradition and fresh drama, as drivers battle not only for prize money but also for momentum heading into the playoff stretch.
