Indianapolis Motor Speedway to host NASCAR Cup Series event Brickyard 400 in July 2025

NASCAR’s Brickyard 400 will return to the 2.5-mile oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2025.

According to a release, Brickyard Weekend will be back on July 26-27, 2025. The NASCAR Xfinity Series Pennzoil 250 will take place Saturday, July 26 and the NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 presented by PPG will be held on Sunday, July 27.

“Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Brickyard on the oval this year was much anticipated by fans and drivers alike and the overtime win by Larson did not disappoint,” said IMS president J. Douglas Boles. “Tradition and history are a huge part of Brickyard Weekend and noteworthy wins have occurred on this date. Only time will tell who will addtheir names to the history books in 2025.”

July 27 is an important date in Brickyard history. In 2008, Jimmie Johnson won the second of four wins at IMS. In 2014, Jeff Gordon won his record-setting fifth Brickyard 400 on that date. Gordon, who graduated from Tri-West High School in Lizton, won the inaugural Brickyard 400 on Aug. 6, 1994.

The Brickyard returned to the oval in 2024 as NASCAR celebrated 30 years at IMS and topped 70,000 fans. Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year Kyle Larson won this year’s race.

Fans who attended Brickyard Weekend in 2024 have a limited time to secure their seats at IMS.com/400renew. Tickets will go on sale to the general public later this fall.

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.

There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.

And damned if he didn’t make a play.

Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.

Philip Rivers comes out of retirement for Indianapolis Colts: NFL world reacts

The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.

But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.

The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.

Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).

His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
