Brickyard Fantasy Picks
Drivers and teams set their sights on the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway after having last week off. Most drivers and teams are probably excited to get back on the track, especially at one of racing’s most historic tracks.
The track is a 2.5 mile with nine degrees of banking in the turns and as flat as Kansas in the straightaways. There is really no track to compare to the Brickyard, but if you had to pick one it would likely be Pocono. The “Tricky Triangle” has its own unique traits, but it also has minimal banking and a flat long straightaway.
