NASCAR: CUP SERIES BRICKYARD 400 & XFINITY SERIES PENNZOIL 250
IMS hosts the NASCAR Cup Series’ Brickyard 400 this Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on NBC. A 30-minute Countdown to Green Saturday at 3 p.m. ET on USA Network leads into Xfinity Series Pennzoil 250 race coverage at 3:30 p.m. ET. This marks the first time the NASCAR Cup Series will race on the oval at the Brickyard since 2020 and the Xfinity Series since 2019. These will be the final NASCAR races until August 11 (Cup Series) and August 17 (Xfinity Series).
Ryan Blaney (627 pts) moved into the top five of the Cup Series Playoffs point standings after his win at Pocono last weekend, the site of his first career Cup Series win in 2017. Rounding out the top five are Kyle Larson (700 pts), Denny Hamlin (-17), William Byron (-54), and Christopher Bell (-84). This is the first time this race will be held at IMS since 2020, with the previous three editions being held on the Indianapolis Road Course; Kevin Harvick won 2020’s event.
Coverage from IMS begins tomorrow on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app with Xfinity Series practice at 1 p.m. ET and Cup Series practice at 2:30 p.m. ET.
NBC Sports coverage from Indianapolis will feature members of its broadcast team embedded with the race teams of Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe, which feature an in-depth look on select drivers and their teams, highlighting the teamwork and contributions at every level that are required to create a successful day at the racetrack.
21-time Cup Series race winner and “The Mayor” of NASCAR Jeff Burton and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte will serve as analysts for both the Cup and Xfinity Series races this weekend from Nashville Superspeedway with NASCAR race announcer Rick Allen. Marty Snider, Kim Coon, and Dave Burns will serve as pit reporters.
Snider will host pre- and post-race coverage alongside Burton, Letarte and NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett.
Jarrett won the Brickyard 400 at IMS in 1999, where he started the tradition of kissing the bricks at the finish line – an iconic practice that has been replicated by IMS winners for decades now.
The official home of the NASCAR Championship and Playoffs, NBC Sports will present the final 20 NASCAR Cup Series races as well as 11 NASCAR Xfinity Series races in 2024 across NBC, USA Network and Peaco*ck, culminating with the Championship at Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 9-10.
