Indianapolis Motor Speedway
NASCAR didn’t race at the famed Brickyard until 1994 but the annual summer date at Indy is already one of the sport’s most celebrated races and one of its most prestigious trophies.
Racing in the shadow of the famed pagoda, Sprint Cup drivers get a chance to soak up motorsports history — the row of bricks at the start/finish line represent some of racing’s most hallowed ground. Meanwhile, they race in front of one of the largest crowds on the calendar.
With the long straightaways and relatively low banking in the turns, drivers have to contend with both extremely high top speeds and low cornering speeds.
