Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron is genuinely excited to return to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval next week for the 30th anniversary of the Brickyard 400 – the inaugural race in 1994 won by Hendrick executive and NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon.
After racing on The Speedway’s road course the last three years, the NASCAR Cup Series will again race on the 2.5-mile oval next Sunday.
“I’m excited for it. I think the track is fun to make laps on,’’ said Byron, who drives the same No. 24 Chevy that Gordon drove to a record five IMS trophies. “I’m sure it will be tricky with the Next Gen car, probably a little bit edgy. But I think it will be everything we want as drivers, to be back on the oval with the history that it has.’’
