About
The Brickyard 400 is an annual 400 mile (644km) race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it has been in existence since 1994 and was the first race other than the famous Indianapolis 500 to be held at the circuit since 1916. From the inaugural outing sixteen years ago, the Brickyard 400 has become NASCAR's most attended event, with an estimated annual crowd of over a quarter of a million fans. It is also the second highest paying race, behind only the Daytona 500. The term 'Brickyard' is a legendary name which has been historically used in reference to the Speedway. Back in 1909 it was paved in brick, a one yard section of this can still be seen at the start/finish line.

Four drivers have won the Brickyard 400 more than once; Tony Stewart, Dale Jarrett, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. They account for 11 of the 16 ever winners. The latter, Jeff Gordon also holds records for the most wins, the most top 5s, the most top 10s, the most laps led and the most poles.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has existed since 1909, and is the original 'Speedway', the very first racing facility historically to incorporate that word in its title. With a permanent seating capacity for more than 257,000 people and infield seating that raises capacity to approximately 400,000, it is the largest and highest-capacity sporting facility anywhere in the world. This year's race will be the 20th on the NASCAR Sprint Cup calendar before moving on to Pocono in August.
