CONCORD, N.C. - This week, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the Brickyard 400 kicks off the final five races of the regular season.
Since the inaugural race in 1994, the 400-mile race around the 2.5-mile oval has served as a NASCAR crown jewel. From 2021-2023 while the Cup Series raced around the track's road course before making its return in the 2024 season, where Kyle Larson kissed the bricks following his win in an overtime finish.
Speaking of wins, Hendrick Motorsports is well acquainted with the winner's circle as the organization has parked 11 cars in victory lane at the yard of bricks. This year, it looks to add another win and extend its lead as the winningest team in the event's history.
And a special event calls for some special paint schemes.
To kick things off, Kyle Larson returns with his #H1100 paint scheme. The special papaya, blue, and white livery commemorates his attempt at running the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca Cola 600 in the same day this past May.
Chase Elliott brings back his white and blue NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet alongside Alex Bowman's black and purple Ally Chevrolet. Finally, William Byron returns his Liberty University Chevrolet.
The paint scheme preview is sponsored by Kelley Blue Book.
Here's how all four cars will look on track this weekend:
