Start your engines, because the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has locked in the dates for the 2026 Brickyard Weekend. Confirmed for July 24-26, the weekend promises to be a scorcher, with the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Pennzoil 250 set for Saturday, and the main attraction NASCAR Cup Series Brickyard 400 presented by PPG taking place on Sunday, as reported by WTHR.
Tickets hit the market a notch earlier than the race dates, with Friday passes available from $15, Saturdays starting at $35, and Sunday entries from $40. Keeping it family-friendly, kids 15 and under get in free with a paying adult, J. Douglas Boles, IMS President, told BVM Sports. And for those fast off the mark with tickets for the Pennzoil 250 or Brickyard 400, IMS is throwing in a bonus Friday ticket, no extra charge, according to officials.
But wait, there's more; if you locked down a three-day camping pass, consider it an upgrade, because now you've got four days to soak in the rubber and roar. This extra day will be added to your IMS account, indicating more time to revel in the thrill that IMS calls home, as documented on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's official website.
While the full schedule for Friday's practice and qualifying hasn't dropped just yet, those details will emerge quicker than a pit stop, so racing aficionados, keep your eyes peeled. "If you’re looking for a last-minute holiday gift or stocking stuffer, these tickets are a great way to celebrate with friends and family at the Racing Capital of the World," Boles remarked in a statement obtained by WTHR.
