About Brickyard 400
History
The Brickyard 400 is a yearly 400-mile NASCAR Cup Series race held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The debut race was held in 1994. The Brickyard 400 was the only race other than the Indianapolis 500 to be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 1916.
The first Brickyard 400 was NASCAR's most-attended occasion. It drew an expected audience of 250,000. Brickyard 400 is also among the highest paying races.
From 1994 to 2017, the occasion used to run on the 1st weekend of August or in the July end. In 2018 and 2019, NASCAR moved the race toward the end of the week after Labor Day.
In 2020, the race happened on Independence Day weekend. From 2021, the race will be run on the Road Course rather than the oval.
Track Origin
The word "Brickyard" is a reference to the moniker truly used for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. At the point when the race-course opened in August 1909, the track surface was made from stone and tar. That surface caused various deadly mishaps.
The track was then repaved with 3.2 million blocks. After some time the blocks were cleared over with asphalt. Now just a one-yard segment of blocks toward the beginning/finish line stays uncovered.
Past Winners
The names of the victors of the Brickyard 400 are recorded on the Trophy. It is housed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Jeff Gordon won the debut Brickyard 400 on August 6, 1994. He is the best driver throughout the entire existence of the race. He holds a record of five triumphs and three pole positions. Gordon additionally holds the most laps finished, most laps led.
Jimmie Johnson has won the Brickyard 400 four times for Hendrick Motorsports. Hendrick Motorsports has been the best team with ten victories and five pole positions.
