2017 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup - Brantley Gilbert Big Machine Brickyard 400

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series landed on Indianapolis Motor Speedway where despite a lightning struck that sent the race to a slight halt, it became a wildfire no one saw it coming for the drivers racing themselves to the finish line.


In Lap 50, Kyle Busch passed the first stage of the race. Then, in Lap 75, smoke is pouring in Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s #88 car due to radiator problems, prompting him to abort himself from the race. In Lap 100, Kyle Busch cleared the second stage but he got knocked off from his lead by Martin Truex Jr, whose car got caught in flames. In Lap 149, it's car crash ahoy when Clint Boyer's car smashed and then followed by Kurt Busch. Same thing happened in Lap 154 when Kyle Larson's car went wrong and then caught in flames while the #48 car went out of control and crashed, and in lap 162 when the #6 car caused a pileup.

After all that chaotic moment after another, even in overtime, in Indianapolis, the winner goes to Kasey Kahne.

Next race is at Pocono on the 30th of July.
