Brickyard 400. Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis. Coverage begins at 10 a.m. today on ESPN (30)
INDIANAPOLIS — Juan Pablo Montoya is in a familiar spot at Indianapolis Motor Speedway — out front.
No matter how hard you try, it’s tough to make a case for any manufacturer other than Chevy to win Sunday’s Brickyard 400 at the storied grounds of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Not only does history point to a Chevy win, but the actual performance during Saturday’s qualifying and final practice sessions all lean to the guys with bow ties.

Chicagoland Speedway, Joliet, Ill.
Coverage begins at 4:30 p.m. today on TNT (18)
It truly is a mystery how Jimmie Johnson has never won a NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at Chicagoland Speedway based on how he has dominated just about every 1.5-mile track on the circuit.

Coming into the 2010 campaign, the list of tracks that remained on his bucket list was six, but he scratched two off right away with first time wins at Bristol and Sonoma.
With all respect due Woody Hayes, Bob Knight or Russell Crowe; with a dubious appreciation of Mike Tyson, for taking a chunk out of Evander Holyfield’s ear; or of Alec Baldwin, for taking a chunk out of his daughter’s rear end, I might have witnessed the ultimate meltdown at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring on Thursday night.
