The 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series comes to Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday after a week off. The official name of Sunday's race is the Crown Royal Presents the Curtiss Shaver 400 at the Brickyard Powered by BigMachineRecords.com. That's stupid and egregious, so everyone should just keep referring to it as the Brickyard 400, as per tradition.
Kevin Harvick will try to stay entrenched in the middle of the top 10 in the Sprint Cup standings, but holds an iffy No. 27 spot in the starting lineup.
The green flag is scheduled to wave at 10:19 a.m. PT. This will be the first race of the season broadcast on ESPN, who will handle the television broadcasts for the remainder of the year. There IS live streaming of the race today, which can be found via the "Watch ESPN" app. If you'll be away from your computer and TV, check the Performance Racing Network's web site for a list of affiliate radio stations in your area.
