NASCAR is back at the Brickyard road course.

Fans of the Cup Series watched a crash-filled first edition of the race in 2021 as drivers tried to navigate the more difficult course. NASCAR's previous races at the Brickyard were run on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's famed 2.5-mile oval.

When the dust settled, AJ Allmendinger came out the winner after Chase Briscoe took out leader Denny Hamlin late.

The Sporting News has everything you need to watch Sunday's Verizon 200 at The Brickyard on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.
