'I love you, Indiana fans': Kyle Larson wins at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in NASCAR's Brickyard 400

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval in 2024 after three years racing on the IMS road course, and a winner on the road course will lead the field. The first stage in the 160-lap race on the 2.5-mile oval lasts 50 laps, and the the second stage is another 50 laps. The final stage is 60 laps.

Tyler Reddick, who won the 2022 Cup race on the IMS road course, takes the pole position at 181.932 mph in the 10-car shootout after advancing through the first round of qualifying. He has won at Talladega Superspeedway in 2024.

The Brickyard 400 is the 23rd points-paying race in the 26-race Cup regular season, after which 16 drivers will compete in 10 playoff races. A series champion will be crowned on Nov. 10.

Kyle Larson wins Brickyard 400

Kyle Larson picks up his NASCAR Cup Series-leading 4th victory of the season in double overtime. He charges through the field into contention late in regulation, and stays ahead of Ryan Blaney on the final green flag. Tyler Reddick gets by Blaney for 2nd.

Larson picks up his 27th career Cup win.

"It's such a prestigious place and such hallowed ground," Larson said on the front stretch after parking on the Yard of Bricks. "I love you, Indiana fans, and I know you love me, too. How about we come back next May and try to kiss the bricks in the Indy car?”

Did Kyle Larson do the Indy-NASCAR double?

Larson finished 18th in the Indianapolis 500 in May as he prepared for the Indy-NASCAR double. However, weather played havoc with his effort. Rain in Indianapolis delayed the Indy 500 start by 4 hours. Larson ran well, leading 4 laps, before committing a pit road speeding penalty.

After finishing in Indy, he flew to Charlotte, N.C., for the Coca-Cola 600, which was already underway. Justin Allgaier drove Larson's car, but rain halted the Cup race, preventing Larson from climbing in. Larson received a waiver from NASCAR to pursue the series championship.
