What makes the brickyard 400 so special?

May be...

All of the blown tires, the multitude of cautions, the parade of cars in a single straight line--drivers praying that their tires will make it another lap.....GOOD TIMES....Good times. Ugh!

it isn't, just another track, now the older, smaller tracks that nascar saw in their infinite wisdom to shutdown, now they were special.

I know its like the 2nd most specal race in NASCAR, right behind the daytona 500. but WHY? Why is a two-mile open-wheel orginated rectangle so important in a stock car league? I just don't get why there's all this hype when the Brickyard is meant for IndyCars. It seems so random to have this track, which doesn't have any NASCAR background, as the "2nd Most Important Race."

Hell, if I was a racecar driver the Brickyard 400 wouldn't even be in the Top 5. So the question is:
"WHY IS THE BRICKYARD SO SPECIAL?"

That's probably the oldest track in the United States. They were racing there in the early 1900s. The word "Indy" (Brickyard) can be associated with the birth of the automobile industry. A lot of testing and competition was done in the early 1900s at that track. That's historic.

its ah mah daddy favorit. he even take ah shower to go to ah race.

Because it is THEE All American racetrack, home of the Indy 500. It is considered to be the racing capital of the world. It probably has more history than any other track because it has many types of racing. It is a very coveted win that comes at this track. Motorcycles, stockcars, F1's, Indy cars, all types of racing!

Because it has a lot of history in it. A lot has happen there over the years.

Only history that most NASCAR fans know nothing about. They know there's history but they don't know who or what. lol. It's funny because they make fun of California and other tracks when Indy is the least exciting race of em all except for the crossing of the finish line.

It's just because of the racing history that has taken place there. Drivers feel privileged to be able to race on a track with so much historical value.

Because a lot of history has taken place at the track even if it was in other series. Drivers love to race their for the special reasons and such and everyone wants to win there very badly and give a big kiss to those bricks.

NASCAR has only been racing at the brickyard for 14 years.kinoma player download
