Indianapolis Start Time, TV, Live Stream, Schedule

THE NASCAR Cup Series arrives at the Brickyard, after an exciting weekend of racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway who saw Victory for Scott Dixon the IndyCar Gallagher Grand Prix and Victory for Ty Gibbs the NASCAR Xfinity Series Pennzoil 150 – both Saturday.

Now it’s time for the Cup drivers to tackle the road course at IMS with only three races remaining before the start of the playoffs. Sunday’s race marks the first of two back-to-back road races with Watkins Glen following next weekend before the regular season concludes on Daytona International Speedway’s 2.5-mile oval with a night race on Saturday the 26th. august.

Indianapolis could provide a great opportunity for a winless driver to clinch one of the four remaining playoff spots with a win or for bubble drivers to increase their points. AJ Allmendinger, who currently sits 19th in the standings and off the cut line, must surely be salivating after winning the Cup race at IMS in 2021 and finishing seventh last year after winning the Xfinity race 2022. Another driver outside the cut line, Austin Cindric (21st in points), must also be feeling some racing confidence on the Brickyard road course after finishing second last year and ninth in 2021, one day after winning that year’s Xfinity race.
