Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course: NASCAR History

The Cup Series raced on the Indianapolis road course from 2021 through 2023. Cup and the then-Xfinity Series returned to the 2.5-mile oval in 2024, so this road-course page is historical, not a listing for a current race.

Why past results show a different layout

A road-course result from 2021–23 is not an oval Brickyard result. The turn sequence, distance and race tactics were different, even though both layouts are within Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
