We’re at the end of July and the extension of the NASCAR regular season. There are only five races left before the 10th race, the Cup Series qualifying begins, 14 drivers have already won a race, and there are only two berths left after the season for non-winning drivers as the bubble gets smaller and smaller.
Sunday’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway presents the winner with a chance to kiss the famous brick but also a chance to cycle on the road to steal the victory. The Cup drivers will reach the IMS road track for only the second time in series history, and last year’s event produced plenty of chaos before one of these aces – AJ Allmendinger, a full-time ASCAR Xfinity Series driver – took the win in the overtime double.
Kurt Busch will miss his second race in a row as he recovers from an accident during qualifying at Pocono Raceway last weekend. Ty Gibbs will once again replace the 2004 Cup Champion in the #45 Toyota.
Here’s all the info you need to get ready for Sunday’s Verizon 200 competition at the Brickyard on the road at Indianapolis Motor Speedway:
