It was 1994 when NASCAR held its first Sprint Cup race at Indianapolis and for Indiana native Tony Stewart, a two-time winner at the Brickyard…

(Stewart) “This is an event that I definitely circle on the schedule and, you know, emotionally have a lot invested in it.”

I spoke to Dale Earnhardt Jr. about his chances this weekend for victory at Indy…

(Earnhardt Jr.) “I’m actually excited. We’ve been running pretty well at the Brickyard last several trips and we’re due for a win.”

Team owner Richard Childress has won at Indy three times with three different drivers including Dale Earnhardt Sr. and for Childress…

(Childress) “The neatest part of winning Indy is getting to ride around the track and see all the fans hollering.”

And NASCAR makes the move from ESPN and Turner Sports to NBC. Announcing this week they’ve signed a ten year contract with NBC Universal to broadcast the final 20 Sprint Cup Series races and 19 Nationwide races starting in 2015.
