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.
