Watch: A Special Trailer for the NASCAR-IndyCar Doubleheader at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The 2020 NASCAR Brickyard 400 is scheduled to run on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The NASCAR Xfinity Series will also race on the IMS street course for the Pennzoil 150 at the historic circuit on Saturday.

This is one of those rare events which fans have been waiting for long as the rivals come together to compete on the same track on the same weekend.

“This concept has been talked about for years,” said Scott Dixon, the Indianapolis 500 winner in 2008 and a five-time IndyCar Series champion said to NY Times. “But it took strange times, really strange times, to make the impossible finally happen.”

The NASCAR Cup Brickyard 400 Big Machine Hand Sanitizer 400 Powered by Big Machine Records runs at 4:00 p.m. EDT Sunday.

All weekend NASCAR and INDYCAR occasions will be run without onlookers because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Driven2SaveLives BC39 and FGL Fest have been dropped. Kevin Harvick is the defending champion at the Brickyard 400. Driver Corey LaJoie plans to make a big appearance of a ‘Trump 2020’ vehicle in Sunday’s race.

Indianapolis motor speedway shared the tweet which said: “This is where even legends are tested, brick by brickyard. Tune in for a Fourth Of July weekend filled with heart-pounding, hair-raising @NASCAR and @IndyCar action on @nbc.”

NASCAR-Indycar weekend

NASCAR and IndyCars have not raced on the same track since 1959 when Daytona International Speedway opened with its banked design.

Wish TV reports, IMS President Doug Boles said, “So maybe one of the good things that came out of the coronavirus is the opportunity to have that NASCAR-IndyCar doubleheader we’ve been talking about for a long time.”

Albeit no drivers in this present weekend’s races will endeavor to contend in the two kinds of vehicles. Although, it to be an open door one year from now. Overnight, IMS will alter the oval before the Brickyard starts Sunday evening. On the off chance that IMS pulls off the never-been-done doubleheader, they will probably do it again.
