BACK ON THE BRICKS: Brickyard Weekend Rolls into IMS

It’s the 30th anniversary of the Brickyard 400, and the stars of NASCAR are ready to chase history again on the oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Brickyard Weekend kicks off Thursday with the USAC Sprint Week opener on The Dirt Track, but the weekend roars to life with Cup and Xfinity Series action on Saturday and Sunday.

Kyle Larson returns to defend his 2024 overtime win, while the Xfinity Series will see if anyone can replicate Riley Herbst’s dramatic two-lap rally from a year ago.

Adding to the festivities, Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster will serve as Grand Marshal—reminding fans that the Brickyard is still about family, fun, and fast cars.

With practice, qualifying, and racing stacked throughout the weekend—and legends like Jeff Gordon etched forever in Brickyard lore—one thing is certain: history is always just one lap away at Indy.
