After a three-year hiatus, the iconic Brickyard 400 finally returns to the NASCAR Cup Series calendar this weekend.

For three years, the series raced on a road course configuration at the track for the Verizon 200, but this weekend, from July 19th to 21st, the Brickyard 400 will see drivers battle it out on the legendary 2.5-mile oval for the first time since 2020.

The last driver to conquer the yard of bricks under the Brickyard 400 name was Kevin Harvick in 2020, and with the return to the traditional layout, the stage is set for another chapter to be written in the history of this storied race.
