The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Speedway, Indiana today for qualifying ahead of the Brickyard 400.

This weekend is a significant one as stock car racing returns to the quad-oval at the Brickyard for the first time since 2020.

The previous three seasons saw races under Verizon 200 name taking place on the road course at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, making this return to the traditional oval layout a highly anticipated event.

Additionally, this year's Brickyard 400 marks the 30th anniversary of the inaugural race, which took place back in 1994.

The race was won by Jeff Gordon, who is the most successful driver on the track with five wins and three pole positions.
