Background

[edit]
The layout of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway NASCAR used.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana, (an enclave suburb of Indianapolis) in the United States, is the home of the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. It is located on the corner of 16th Street and Georgetown Road, approximately six miles (10 km) west of Downtown Indianapolis.

Constructed in 1909, it is the original speedway, the first racing facility so named. It has a permanent seating capacity estimated at 235,000 with infield seating raising capacity to an approximate 400,000. It is the highest-capacity sports venue in the world.

This will be the first official qualifying and race weekend in the Cup Series for Daniil Kvyat and also for Ty Gibbs. Gibbs made his Cup Series debut at Pocono following a medical disqualification of Kurt Busch, who remains under suspension by NASCAR as a result of concussion protocol following his Q2 crash at Pocono the previous week. Kvyat marked the first time a driver who was declared an Authorised Neutral Athlete was entered in a Cup race.
