NASCAR’s Mid‑Season Momentum: Custer, Burton and Eatmon Excel at Indianapolis

Strong finishes at the Brickyard underscore team progress and emerging talent

A Weekend of Upsides at Indianapolis

Cole Custer drove the No. 41 Haas Factory Chevrolet to a 13th‑place finish in the Cup Series Brickyard 400, a result that reflects his ability to stay inside the top 15 for nearly the entire distance and to post an average running position of 11.68, ranking ninth overall in that metric.

Jeb Burton, piloting the No. 25 Chevrolet in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Pennzoil 250 at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, completed the race in 15th position, maintaining an average running position of 15.73 and running the whole event within the top 15, underscoring a steady progression for the driver.

Parker Eatmon, in just his third Craftsman Truck Series start, recorded his best career finish with a 12th‑place result, having improved from previous finishes of 26th and 21st and holding an average running position of 12.49 throughout the event.

The performances also shone a light on the supporting programs: Jordan Anderson Racing secured a top‑15 finish despite operating without the resources of the sport’s powerhouse programs, while Niece Motorsports continued to demonstrate speed with its No. 44 Chevrolet driven by Eatmon.

For the Haas Factory Team, Custer’s 13th place marked the second‑best result of the season, illustrating the organization’s upward trajectory as the year progresses.
