Bubba Wallace Wins Brickyard 400 to Become Indy's First Black Winner
- The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series held the 29th Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.5-mile oval on July 27, with Chase Briscoe on pole and Toyotas leading the start.
- This event marked the second consecutive year of the Brickyard 400 after a three-year hiatus and also concluded the inaugural In-Season Challenge with a $1 million prize.
- Defending champion Kyle Larson entered as a top favorite along with Denny Hamlin, who crashed in qualifying but remained the betting favorite, while Christopher Bell and Joey Logano were strong contenders.
- Toyota secured all of the first five starting spots on the grid, William Byron is favored at +450 in the betting odds, and contenders such as Bubba Wallace and Ty Gibbs are competing for playoff spots as well as the In-Season Challenge title.
- The race significantly impacted Cup standings, highlighted Hamlin's quest for a Crown Jewel sweep, featured Gibbs and Dillon's tournament duel, and suggested potential late-race lead changes typical of past Brickyard 400 events.
