Indianapolis Motor Speedway to host NASCAR Cup Series event Brickyard 400 in July 2025
NASCAR drivers discuss the career and legacy of Martin Truex Jr.
Martin Truex Jr. recently announced that he will be retiring at the conclusion of the NASCAR season, so we asked drivers about his legacy at the USA TODAY 301.
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.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said Wednesday he does not know what will come of the investigation into claims of sexual harassment against his former top aide Thomas Cook.
The mayor appeared at an afternoon event for the opening of a mixed-use building on the Old Southside, where he was peppered with questions from the media about how the allegations investigation was proceeding.
“You guess is as good as mine. We obviously have some idea of the nature of the allegations that were made by Miss (Lauren) Roberts and Miss (Caroline) Ellert, but how broad that investigation becomes, I guess that’s to be determined.”
News 8 has previously reported that Cook was found to have made inappropriate romantic advances on a coworker in 2014 while employed by Hogsett’s campaign, and the administration knew about it in 2017.
Three women in total have accused Cook of sexual misconduct. Ellert and Roberts spoke Aug. 13 with News 8.
The Democrat mayor also was asked Wednesday about his choice to bring Cook back to work on his 2023 reelction campaign.
The mayor said he was unaware of the earlier allegations until 2023 when Cook was let go a second time.
“Well, you’re right. He had not worked for me for three or four years and he offered to help. The campaign got started in earnest, I believe, in November or December of 2022. I was made aware of additional allegations against Mr. Cook in October or September of 2023, and, given the investigation that was conducted, he was given the option to no longer work on the campaign, and the contracts that he obtained in his private-sector employment practice were canceled. I didn’t know anything about 2018 or 2019 until October or September of 2023.”
Hogsett earlier in August changed the sexual harassment training requirements for city government employees.
“Well, there’s no question that order I issued last week, which requires sexual harassment training for all city employees annually, every year, is something, in retrospect, I wish we had implemented earlier. The old process was once you were trained, upon your employment, if you were not a supervisor, you were not required to do the every-other-year, annual training. That was just required of supervisors. Now, pursuant to my executive order, every employee in the city-county enterprise will go through that training every year from now on.”
Also on Wednesday, the city-county government rolled out a new anonymous website for employees to report sexual harassment.
