INDY.

Only one word is needed to explain this weekends historical race. INDY, that is right we are back at Indianapolis Motorspeedway, for the Brickyard 400. This has been one of NASCAR'S most famous and toughest races to win since its inaugural race in 1994. Dale Jarrett, Jimmie Johnson, and Jamie McMurray are the only three drivers to win the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 in the same year. Jamie McMurray is also the only driver to ever with the Daytona 500, The All-Star Race, and the Brickyard 400 in the same year; but that could all end this weekend. Jimmie Johnson has his eyes set on putting his name next to McMurray's as a drive to win NASCAR'S big three in the same season. But he has drivers hungrier then him that want this race, Like Indianapolis native Tony Stewart who is in search of his third Brick trophy, and Juan Pablo Montoya who dominated the race a few years back only to have a speeding penalty killed his dream, of being the first ever driver to win the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400.
The Brickyard 400 always makes for and exciting race like in 2011 when Paul Menard won his first ever NASCAR Sprint Cup at the Brickyard 400 in a fuel mileage race. Who will win this weekend well we will just have to wait to find out. It will be great.
