Weathering the Weather; IMSA Title Table-Setter; Checkers or Championships, By David Phillips
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – In its 117-year history, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) has witnessed countless motorsports firsts from various vehicles and interesting iterations.
Whether it’s been open-wheel cars, stock cars, motorcycles or sports cars on either the historic IMS 2.5-mile oval or its emerging 2.439-mile road course, now into its second decade in its current layout and incarnation, winning at Indy means you’ve conquered an iconic facility and you’ll engage in a long lip lock with the fabled bricks.
IMSA made a “first” for Indianapolis in 2024 with the first six-hour TireRack.com Battle On The Bricks. What it will serve up for an encore remains to be seen, but per usual, the 53 cars across four IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship classes have a keen eye on being first across that yard of bricks.
