About Nextel Cup Series: Brickyard 400
The Brickyard 400 is one of the NASCAR Sprint Cup races. It was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the first time in 1994. It was named as “Brickyard,” for the 3.2 million bricks that covered the track. It was known as the Brickyard 400 from 1994 to 2004. Now, it is known as the Allstate 400 at The Brickyard, which is the second largest single day sporting event, next to the Indianapolis 500 in the world. This was the second event, after the Indianapolis 500 to be held in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 1916. The race was broadcast on ABC Sports from 1994 to 2000. Then, from 2001 to 2006 it was broadcast on NBC. Now, the contract has been taken by ESPN. The IMS Radio Network and Performance Racing Network have been the radio broadcasters of the race.
