The Cup Series is coming off quite a week.
To recap: Denny Hamlin took out Ross Chastain in apparent payback during the M&M Fan Appreciation 400 at Pocono. After winning the race, Hamlin and second-place finisher Kyle Busch were disqualified for failing post-race inspections, giving Chase Elliott his Cup Series-leading fourth win of the season.
On Sunday, the drivers will race at the Brickyard and on a road course that was filled with crashes in the 2021 event, which had temperatures flaring at the end. In other words, if you’re a fan of NASCAR drama, this could be a good week to tune in to the action.
Last year, AJ Allmendinger won after Hamlin, who had been leading, was taken out late by Chase Briscoe.
