NASCAR Brickyard 400 live updates: Lineup, weather forecast, how to watch race
Only three active Cup Series drivers have won the Brickyard 400, with Kyle Busch winning back-to-back in 2015 and 2016, Brad Keselowski taking the checkered flag in 2018, and Kyle Larson kissing the bricks last year.
Busch will be among the winless drivers hoping to use his experience in the Brickyard to capture his first victory of the 2025 season. Another driver who has high hopes for a great day in Indianapolis is Bubba Wallace, who has two top-five and three top-10 finishes in four Cup races on the IMS oval and would be the 16th and final driver to make the playoffs if the regular season ended today.
Tyler Reddick (45) and Denny Hamlin (11) lead the field around the first turn after taking the green flag for the 2024 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
With just five races remaining before the 10-race playoffs begin, can a winless driver catapult himself into the Top 16? USA TODAY Sports will have full coverage of Sunday’s Brickyard 400. Follow along for the latest updates.
