    INDIANAPOLIS -- After news broke of President Joe Biden's intention to drop out of the 2024 election due to pressure from top Democrat officials, NASCAR announced coverage of the 30th anniversary of the Brickyard 400 will move from NBC to USA Network, effective immediately.

    The race, held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, is still set to begin at 2:30 p.m. This marks the first time since 2020 that the Brickyard 400 will take place on IMS' oval track rather than its road course. 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick earned pole position for the Brickyard 400, and current NASCAR Cup Series standings leader Kyle Larson will start in fifth place.
