All State 400 Nascar Race
Saturday August 6 2006. 2:00 EST
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Speedway, Indiana



Defending NASCAR champion and Indiana native Tony Stewart
finally achieved one of his life-long goals last year in winning at his "home
track" -- the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Stewart likely will be the favorite to become the first back-to-back winner of the Brickyard's
annual Nextel Cup race, and just the second driver to win the event more than
once (Jeff Gordon, who lived in Indiana while racing USAC sprint cars, has
won the race four times).

All state 400 breakdowns (updated thru July 14)
• Venue: Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
• Corporate sponsor: Allstate
• First race: 1994
• Distance: 400 miles (644 km).
• Number of laps: 160.
• Previous names: Brickyard 400 (1994—2004).
• Past winners:
-2005: Tony Stewart.
-2004: Jeff Gordon.
-2003: Kevin Harvick

Indianapolis Motor Speedway breakdown (updated thru July 14)
• Banking/ turns: 9.
• Distance: 2.5 miles.
• Shape: oval.
• The speedway was built as a 2.5-mile rectangle by its four founders.
• The first 500-Mile International Sweepstakes was held on May 30, 1911
• The inaugural Brickyard 400 was held on 1994.
• Jeff Gordon has won four of the 12 races held there.

I predict Smoke will clear the smoke from his head after last weekend and win the Brickyard again this year.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a 2.5-mile semi-banked oval with 9-degree banking in all four turns. Indy has four straightaways. The lengths of the flat front and backstretches are 5/8-mile each and the short chutes are each a 1/8th-mile. It was built as a test facility for the growing car industry and was paved with 3.2 million bricks in 1909. The Brickyard has hosted the Indianapolis 500 since 1911. When it was announced that NASCAR was coming to Indianapolis Motor Speedway over a million fans applied for
the 300,000 tickets to the inaugural event. The first 400-mile NASCAR Cup race, the Brickyard 400, was held here on August 6, 1994. Rick Mast qualified on the pole with a lap of 172.414 mph in the #1 Skoal Racing Ford. Jeff Gordon drove the #24 DuPont Chevrolet to the win. It would be Gordon's first of four Cup victories at this track.

Top 5 Active Drivers: Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Jamie McMurray

Worst 5 Active Drivers: Kenny Wallace, Mike Wallace, Scott Riggs, Travis Kvapil, Martin Truex Jr.

Guessing Tony Stewart wins this one? Bet he'd like to make it another two races in a row.
