Katherine Legge finishes 17th at the Brickyard 400. Two top-20 finishes in five Cup starts this year Her best finish at the Indy 500 was 22nd in 2012
Brickyard Bubba! @DontreGraves our jersey swap this morning worked! Now go kiss some bricks… 🧱 #NASCAR #Brickyard400 @BubbaWallace

Who kisses the bricks @IMS later today? 🧱 Hoosier on Pole? 🧱 Betting favorite? 🧱 Dark Horse? $1 million going to Ty Gibbs/Dillon as well. #NASCAR #Brickyard400




✅ @JeffGordonWeb ✅ @TonyStewart ✅ @RyanJNewman ✅ @chasebriscoe The only Hoosiers to ever qualify on pole position @IMS for the Brickyard 400. @ToyotaRacing sweeps the top-five spots. #NASCAR #Brickyard400




The combination of @NASCAR_Trucks and @RaceIRP continues to rival that of peanut butter and jelly. Thank you for your cooperation, Mother Nature. #NASCAR #TSport200




Fabulous article here on @katherinelegge and how the lack of an Indy 500 car in May led her to racing twice @IMS this weekend. She will become the 21st driver in history to race in both the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400. 🔗 indystar.com/story/sports/m… #NASCAR #Brickyard400 #IndyCar
