The 2024 Brickyard 400 marks the return of NASCAR to the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway Oval, the first since 2020.  After the previous 3 races being run on the infield road course, the NextGen car will hit the yard of bricks for the first time.  Drivers and fans alike have been looking forward to the return of the oval.  While the defending winner at Indianapolis is Michael McDowell, Kevin Harvick was the last driver to win when the Cup series visited the oval.
