NASCAR Cup Series
Denny Hamlin Signs Multi-Year Contract Extension with Joe Gibbs Racing
Jul 25, 2025
Chase Briscoe will lead the field to the green flag for Sunday's Brickyard 400 Presented by PPG at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Briscoe earned his fifth pole position of the 2025 season, clocking in at 49.136 around the famed 2.5-mile speedway. Toyota drivers claimed the top five positions in the starting lineup during the qualifying session.
Bubba Wallace joins Briscoe on the front row for Sunday's race. Erik Jones qualifiied third, with Tyler Reddick fourth and Ty Gibbs rounding out the top five.
Gibbs is one of two drivers competing for $1 million as a finalist in the NASCAR In-Season Challenge on Sunday. His opponent, Ty Dillon, qualified 26th.
Denny Hamlin crashed during his qualifying lap, spinning on the exit of turn two and collecting the inside wall. Thus, the winner of last week's race at Dover Motor Speedway was unable to set a time in qualifying.
The Brickyard 400 Presented by PPG airs at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 27, with coverage on TNT, the IMS Radio Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
