The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Indianapolis Motor Speedway today (Saturday, July 26) for qualifying ahead of Sunday's Brickyard 400.

The legendary 2.5-mile track is set to see 160 laps of high-speed racing action on Sunday, but first, the grid must be set, and there are likely to be plenty of drivers vying for pole.

That task was made harder on Friday, however, with practice canceled due to the rain, with a re-scheduled, shortened 25-minute session now giving drivers less time to hone in on the perfect setup before setting their qualifying laps.

At the 2024 Brickyard 400, 23XI star Tyler Reddick was the man to take pole, edging the likes of Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, William Byron and Kyle Larson that day.

It will certainly be interesting to see who comes out on top this time around, and with that said, let's get into the important information you need to know ahead of all of the action.
