NASCAR teamed with the IndyCar Series for a big weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Both series utilized the road course layout at the versatile race facility. This is NASCAR’s second year racing on the road course rather the historic 2.5-mile rectangle. It is a tricky road course embedded with long straights leading into harsh corners. Typical of Indianapolis, the road course is fast and on Sunday, all the hazards were on full display.
