The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series circuit visits Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday for the Jeff Kyle 400 at the Brickyard for the 20th race of the season.
Here are four drivers to keep an eye on:
Jeff Gordon
Jeff Gordon has had nothing less than success at Indianapolis throughout his career. He won last year's 400-mile race, exactly 20 years after he won the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994. He has a record five wins at the track and could finally get his first win of the season Sunday in his No. 24 3M Chevy.
Indianapolis stats:
- Five wins, 12 top-fives, 17 top-10s, and three poles
- Average finish of 7.9, third-best
- Average green flag speed of 170.820 mph, series-fastest
- 1252 laps in the top 15, second-most
Kyle Busch
Even though Kyle Busch hasn't won a race in his career at Indianapolis, he is riding a hot streak that is likely to continue this weekend. Busch has won three of his last four starts in his No. 18 Skittles Toyota, and is just three spots out of making the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Indianapolis stats:
- Three top-fives, eight top-10s
- Average finish of 10.6, fourth-best
- Average green flag speed of 170.317 mph, sixth-fastest
- 1178 laps in the top 15, sixth-most
Kevin Harvick
Kevin Harvick has been quietly leading the points for the last few weeks. Over his last 10 starts, he's collected nine top-10s and six top-fives. He will try to get his third win of the season this weekend in his No. 4 Jimmy John's/Budweiser Chevrolet. Harvick also holds the track qualifying record (188.889 mph) and won the pole last year at the 2.5-mile track.
Indianapolis stats:
- One win, four top-fives, eight top-10s, and two poles
- Average finish of 12.5, fifth-best
- Average green flag speed of 169.740, 11th-fastest
- 1057 laps in the top 15, ninth-most
Tony Stewart
It's not news that Tony Stewart, in his No. 14 Mobil 1/Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet, hasn't been performing as well as he would like this season. Sunday's race may help him turn things around, as he has won twice before at the track.
- Two wins, seven top-fives, 11 top-10s, and one pole
- Average finish of 7.8, second-best
- Average green flag speed of 170.478 mph, fourth-fastest
- 1095 laps in the top 15, seventh-most
