Mike Harmon Racing asked fans for help en route to Indianapolis

NASCAR teams are currently en route to Indianapolis, Indiana. NASCAR events are taking place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the short track of IRP.

For Mike Harmon Racing, their NASCAR Truck Series team is heading to IRP from the shop in Denver, NC. They ran into major hauler issues along the way.

The fire department was on the scene as the team sat on the side of the highway. They requested help from race fans as they needed a new truck to hook up the hauler.

The team fields the No. 74 truck.

Mike Harmon Racing shared the following URGENT update:

“Does anyone have a dually with a 2 5/16th ball in the bed to help transport to Indy….”

“They are at approx mile marker 70 on Black Mountain near Asheville.”

“There are NO rentals so if someone has a personal truck willing to help trailer to Indy”

They added, “The team members are fine, Mike is fine! We need help ASAP.”

Updates

“We are all set, thank you to everyone who reached out, it’s greatly appreciated.”

The team added, “Thank you to everyone who has commented and messaged us, we are all set!!!”

Daniel Suarez has been linked to Legacy Motor Club since Trackhouse Racing announced his departure after the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Suarez has also been linked to JR Motorsports, but he prefers to stay in the Cup Series. So, what does Legacy Motor Club think about the possibility of acquiring the 33-year-old driver?

Who’s ready to kiss the bricks this weekend?

Every NASCAR driver would love to do just that, as the Cup Series heads to historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Brickyard 400.

NASCAR’s race at the famed track doesn’t have quite the history of the Indianapolis 500, but the stock car series has carved out its own unique traditions. There’s no milk in victory lane, but NASCAR did start the tradition of kissing the iconic brick-covered start-finish line after winning — thanks to current NBC analyst Dale Jarrett.

So, what’s in store for Indianapolis this year? What’s the TV schedule for the weekend? And who could contend for the win on Sunday? Here’s everything you need to know for Brickyard 400:

When is the Brickyard 400 NASCAR race?

The Brickyard is set for Sunday, July 27, at 2:20 p.m. ET.

Before the race, there will be practice and qualifying on Friday and Saturday, respectively. All 39 drivers will hit the track for practice Friday, with 50 minutes scheduled. For qualifying, each driver will get one lap to set the starting order based on speed — taking the track in this order.

NASCAR TV schedule this weekend for Brickyard 400

This weekend marks the final race airing on TNT before NBC takes over for the rest of the season.

Adam Alexander (play-by-play), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (analyst) and Steve Letarte (analyst) will be on the call, with Shannon Spake, Jamie McMurray and Parker Kligerman providing pre- and post-race coverage.

Here’s the full schedule for Indianapolis:

Friday, July 25 (truTV and HBO Max)

• Practice: 1:05 p.m. ET, truTV and HBO Max

Saturday, July 26 (truTV and HBO Max)

• Qualifying: 2:35 p.m. ET, truTV and HBO Max

Sunday, July 27 (TNT and HBO Max)

• NASCAR Nation Pre-Race: 1 p.m. ET, TNT and HBO Max
• Brickyard 400: 2 p.m. ET, TNT and HBO Max
• NASCAR Nation Post-Race: 5:30 p.m. ET, TNT and HBO Max

The 2025 NASCAR season kicks off on Feb. 16, 2025 with the 67th running of the Daytona 500.

Who is racing in the Brickyard 400? Here’s the entry list

Thirty-nine drivers will race at the Brickyard — the 36 full-timers, plus three additional entries.

Josh Bilicki (Garage 66), Jesse Love (Beard Motorsports) and Katherine Legge (Live Fast Motorsports) are continuing their part-time schedules this season by racing at this historic venue. Bilicki and Love are both making their fourth Cup start of 2025, while Legge is back for her fifth. She has also made four prior starts at the Brickyard in the Indianapolis 500, so the track should be familiar.

Two other drivers in the spotlight at Ty Gibbs and Ty Dillon, who are competing in the final round of the In-Season Challenge with $1 million waiting for whoever crosses the finish line first.

Here’s the full entry list for Indy:

Brickyard 400 picks, predictions, favorites

Last week at Dover, the powerhouse organizations stole the show. Joe Gibbs Racing and Hendrick Motorsports drivers occupied the top six finishing positions and led 387 of 407 laps. Expect more of the same at the Brickyard.

Starting with JGR, no driver has had more close calls without a Brickyard win than Denny Hamlin. Fresh off a win at Dover, the 44-year-old star knows he doesn’t have many more chances left to kiss the bricks. His teammate and Indiana native Chase Briscoe, who was second last week, is another strong pick — as is Christopher Bell, who was fourth at Indy last year.

For HMS, it all starts with Kyle Larson. Last year’s Brickyard 400 winner has started the last two Indy 500’s — giving him more track time here than any driver. Sure, it’s a different car, but the experience certainly helped him last year. Chase Elliott, after leading 238 laps last week, is leading the points standings and should challenge for the victory.

The third traditional powerhouse organization is Team Penske, who hasn’t quite had its usual speed this season. If there’s a track for them to turn it around, though, it’s Indy. Team owner Roger Penske owns and operates the track, and none of his drivers have yet won there. Ryan Blaney is the best bet for Penske this year.

If anyone can topple those three, look toward a pair of upstart teams — RFK Racing and 23XI Racing.

Tyler Reddick (40 laps led), Brad Keselowski (35) and Bubba Wallace (26) were the top three lap-leaders at the Brickyard last year — and all three need a win to lock themselves into the playoffs. Reddick was second and Wallace was fifth for 23XI, while Keselowski ran out of fuel while leading late in the race and finished 21st.

The winning pick for Indy is Elliott, who bounces back from disappointment last week to finally score his first career crown jewel victory.

NASCAR past winners, race history for the Brickyard 400

Just three of the 39 drivers in the field are past winners at the Brickyard.

Busch has won the race twice (2015 and 2016), while Keselowski (2018) and Larson (2024) are one-time winners.

NASCAR pit stops are a sport themselves with how much planning goes into a perfect pit stop. Here’s what you need to know about what happens during a pit stop.

Kevin Lacroix and the #74 NAPA Racing / Adaptive One Calipers team are heading to uncharted territory this weekend as the NASCAR Canada Series makes its long-awaited debut at Calabogie Motorsports Park. The green flag drops on Sunday at 2:10 p.m. ET for the Calabogie 150, Clash of the Titans presented by NAPA.

Located just outside of Ottawa, Calabogie is the longest and most technical track on the calendar. NASCAR Canada will run what is called the ‘Stadium Track’, which will be a new challenge for all drivers, but Lacroix, known for his road course expertise, is ready to rise to the occasion aboard his powerful #74 Camaro.

“It’s always exciting to race somewhere new, and Calabogie is no joke,” said Lacroix. “It’s a demanding track, but I love a good challenge, and I think this layout will suit our car and driving style.”

This round carries added importance for Lacroix and the team as they continue to fight for the championship. After a strong showing in the West, including a victory in Saskatoon, Lacroix is just one point shy of the series lead. A podium result at Calabogie could be pivotal as the series approaches its mid-season climax.

Prepared by Innovation Auto Sport (IAS) and engineered by Étienne Cliche, the #74 NAPA Racing entry has shown consistent pace throughout the season. With NAPA and Adaptive One Calipers continuing their support, the team is more motivated than ever to deliver another standout performance.

“The level of competition this year is incredibly high, and the margins are razor-thin,” Lacroix added. “But I know our team is capable of executing, and we’re going into Calabogie with confidence and determination.”

Catch the action from the Clash of the Titans this Sunday at 2:10 p.m. ET. Broadcast details will be shared on the NASCAR Canada website and social media channels.
