Allstate 400 at The Brickyard

The Allstate 400 at The Brickyard is an annual 400 mile (644 km) NASCAR Nextel Cup points race held each August at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. From 1994 to 2004, the race was known as the Brickyard 400, and was held on the first Saturday in August until NASCAR's 2001 television contract moved the race from a 12:15 PM EST start on Saturday to 1:45 PM EST on the Sunday afterwards.
