Overview

  • Bubba Wallace became the first Black driver to win on Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.5-mile oval by edging Kyle Larson by 0.222 seconds in double overtime to end a 100-race winless streak.
  • The victory marked Wallace’s first crown jewel win, his third career NASCAR Cup Series triumph and secured his spot in the championship playoffs.
  • A late-race rain delay halted the Brickyard 400 with four laps remaining and forced two overtime restarts that made fuel strategy decisive.
  • Ty Gibbs prevailed over Ty Dillon in the final match of the inaugural In-Season Challenge to take home the $1 million prize.
  • Chase Briscoe topped Saturday’s qualifying in his hometown to earn pole position and lead the field to green for the Brickyard weekend.
