NASCAR Xfinity - Indianapolis Motor Speedway

The Pennzoil 250 brings NASCAR Xfinity Series racing to the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This 250-mile contest features 100 laps around the famous 2.5-mile oval track in Speedway, Indiana. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which opened in 1909, holds a special place in American racing history with its surface once composed of 3.2 million bricks.

NASCAR Xfinity Series competitors race through three stages (30/30/40 laps) as they chase victory at this prestigious venue. The event broadcasts on CW television and radio coverage includes IMS Radio and Sirius XM NASCAR channels for fans following from home.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series has raced at Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 2012, with Brad Keselowski winning the first race. After a brief period on the road course configuration, the series returned to the classic oval layout that made the speedway famous.

Fans appreciate the rich traditions of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, including the victory celebration where winners "kiss the bricks" at the start/finish line—a custom that began in 1996. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum located on the grounds showcases the venue's remarkable racing heritage.

This NASCAR Xfinity Series event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway puts drivers and machines through a true test of speed and skill on one of racing's most challenging tracks. The combination of long straightaways and tight corners creates passing opportunities and strategic racing that showcases driver talent at this iconic American racing facility.
