Weather could impact Brickyard 400 qualifying at Indianapolis, with AccuWeather predicting a very low rain chance but a track record of rained-out oval sessions prompting a rainout scenario where the starting lineup would be set by the two-variable metric and reversed from the normal order. If qualifying is canceled, Sunday's 160-lap Brickyard 400 would still have a defined starting lineup based on owner standings and most recent race result, with the metric applied as in prior cancellations. The race is set for 2:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 26, with TNT providing live coverage from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Garage 66, led by Casey Mears with drivers including Chad Finchum, Josh Bilicki, and Timmy Hill, has navigated a busy 2026 season and plans multiple entries beyond the Brickyard, though Finchum’s and Bilicki’s results have been mixed. The Brickyard Weekend also features a large Truck Series entry list of 38 for 36 starting spots, signaling a busy, drama-filled event across the weekend, before the Cup field lines up for the main race. Fantasy projections highlight Bubba Wallace, Christopher Bell, and Kyle Larson as strong contenders at Indianapolis given their recent performances and tracks’ history.
