This weekend, we head to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400. The race is Sunday at 2:00pm ET on TNT. In 2024, the Cup Series returned to the Indy Oval. There were 10 cautions for 34 laps. Last season had 6 cautions for 28 laps. There have been at least 8 cautions in 7 of the last 8 oval races here. Teams had 3 sets of tires for practice on Friday. There was a tire test here in June with Ross Chastain, Ryan Preece, and John Hunter Nemechek. I do think those cars and teams have a little bump this weekend. I’ll be using recent speed data, Pocono/Indy speed data, 2026 speed, practice, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. With a recent race at Pocono, I will factor that and practice a little more than usual. Like I mentioned in the NOAPS article, practice has correlated well with race speed.
