Race Facts: Preview Race 22

The 22nd stop of the regular season in the 2024 NASCAR calendar is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is the 28th edition of the NASCAR Cup. The superspeedway is a race track in speedway that is completely surrounded by the city of Indianapolis. The largest sports stadium in America has a spectator capacity of 350,000 in the stands and in the infield. The ‘Hall of Fame’ museum is also located there.

The winners celebrate their victory not only in ‘Gasoline Alley’, but also at the famous Brickyards. In the 1960s, the track’s brick surface was completely replaced with asphalt, except for a one-yard-wide strip at the start and finish line, which earned the oval the name ‘The Brickyard’.

The race at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been held on the road course and not on the traditional track for the past three years. Starting this 2024 season, points will be awarded again on the original track. 160 laps will be driven on the 2.5-mile quad oval. The stages are divided into 50, 60 and a final 60 laps.

Fuel window: 36-38 rounds
Goodyear Tire Notes: 11 sets of tyres (+1 set/qualifying)

Victory Lane: The last polesetters, winners & record winners at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Since the original 2.5-kilometer quad oval has not been raced on for the past three years, there are only two active winners on the entry list for 2024. Kyle Busch won in the 2015 season and for the second time a year later. On Sunday, Busch will compete in his 700th Cup race. Brad Keselowski was the last active winner in 2018.

Driver Ranking 21/2024

Top 20 after the 21st race of the 2024 season at Pocono Rcaceway

Motorsport-Magazin.com After each race, the current form of all NASCAR drivers is determined based on the results of the last six races.

Tyler Reddick remains our leader for the second time in a row. Defending champion Ryan Blaney is the first pursuer after his second win of the season in Pocono. Following at a distance are all four Hendrick drivers, Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman, Kyle Larson and William Byron, in third to sixth place.

Denny Hamlin made the biggest jump from 18th to eighth place. The Pocono losers were Christopher Bell, Todd Gilliland, Ricky Stenhouse Junior and Pocono pole setter Ty Gibbs.

Martin Truex Junior and rookie Josh Berry managed a comeback in the top 20. Austin Cindric and Ross Chastain are missing this week. The results of the two Richard Childress drivers Kyle Busch and Austin Dillon remain very weak. They only occupy positions 33 and 34.
