The next Brickyard 400 moves in July – NASCAR Racing

SPEEDWAY, Ind. (WTHR) – This will be the last year of the Brickyard 400 in September. From 2020, the race will be postponed to the weekend of July 4th.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway racetrack is working with NASCAR to enhance the Brickyard 400 fans' experience. Just like the Indy 500, they want the Brickyard 400 to be an event experience and say it at the party. Independence will increase this feeling.

"NASCAR called us and said," Hey, we're really interested in trying to do that! "And at first we were not quite sure and then we thought it could be a lot of fun!" said Doug Boles, president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "We are the hosts of the Memorial Day weekend." We started the summer here with the Indy 500, so let's move on to the Independence Day weekend and celebrate the Midwest and what which is important to us: to be Americans. "

Planning for the 27th annual Brickyard 400 is already underway.
