Hamlin seeks Brickyard win to complete Grand Slam

Denny Hamlin is chasing the NASCAR Grand Slam by winning the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis, a feat accomplished by only four drivers, with his best IMS results being third place on multiple occasions and his 23XI team victory at Indianapolis complicating his personal pursuit. While leading the Cup Series standings and enjoying a strong season, Hamlin has yet to win at IMS, making the Brickyard 400 the last major hurdle in his Hall of Fame–caliber career.

Hocevar nets 2026 Brickyard 400 pole; Spire sweeps

Carson Hocevar won the Brickyard 400 pole, giving Spire Motorsports a front-row sweep with teammate Daniel Suárez second and a speed of 186.598 mph, marking his third career pole. The result comes amid momentum for Spire and a separate legal clash with Joe Gibbs Racing over alleged data theft as the field lines up for Sunday's race, with Denny Hamlin in the top five and Tyler Reddick and Ty Gibbs just behind.
