INDIANAPOLIS (Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024) – Brickyard Weekend returns to the 2.5-mile oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26-27, 2025.
The Brickyard Weekend race lineup will include the NASCAR Xfinity Series Pennzoil 250 on Saturday, July 26 and the NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 presented by PPG on Sunday, July 27.
July 27 is an iconic date in Brickyard history. On that date in 2014, Jeff Gordon earned his record-setting fifth Brickyard 400 victory.
“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 Kyle Larson did not disappoint,” IMS President J. Douglas Boles said. “Tradition and history are a huge part of Brickyard Weekend, and a very noteworthy win by Jeff Gordon occurred on this date. Only time will tell who will add their names to the history books in 2025.”
Brickyard Weekend returned to the oval in 2024 as NASCAR celebrated 30 years at the Racing Capital of the World. The inaugural Brickyard 400 took place Aug. 6, 1994, with racing legend and Hoosier icon Gordon capturing the first of his five Brickyard 400 victories. The inaugural event was the first race other than the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge to be held at IMS since 1916. From 1994 to 2020, the race was held on the 2.5-mile oval before shifting to the 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course for three years as part of a tripleheader weekend with the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.
Earlier this year, PPG announced a multiyear agreement to extend its presenting sponsorship of the Brickyard 400, a crown jewel of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule, and unveiled the 2025 event logo.
Fans who attended Brickyard Weekend in 2024 have a limited time to secure their seats at IMS.com/400renew. 2025 Brickyard Weekend renewals will remain open through Thursday, Sept. 12. Fans who did not attend in 2024 may submit a ticket application for Brickyard Weekend at IMS.com/400renew. Tickets will go on sale to the general public later this fall.
Kyle Larson won the NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 presented by PPG in 2024 in an overtime finish, while Riley Herbst prevailed in the final two laps to take the checkered flag in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Pennzoil 250 at the Brickyard.
