There are high expectations for this weekend with the NASCAR Brickyard 400 and the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix. The Brickyard 400 will be held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indianapolis, Indiana and is one of the most popular and prestigious races of the season. The Hungarian Grand Prix will be held in Budapest and is expected to be a great race.

The Stewart-Hass Racing team comprised of Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart is coming into this race with a great amount of momentum following their win in New Hampshire. Both are Indiana natives so this will be their home track. The team is looking for a win and has described this weekend as “the most intense weekend of [the] year, next to the Daytona 500.”

Another racer looking to steal the title is Juan Pablo Montoya. He is coming into this race with a new crew chief and is looking to become the first driver to win both the Brickyard 400 and the Indianapolis 500. He was the winner of the Indy 500 in 2000. Montoya has been a leader at previous Brickyard races and was very close to winning the previous two races but small mistakes, including a call for a four hankook tire replacement which put him in 32^nd place.

Car racing seems to be the world’s sport, while different countries have their own ways of racing and own leagues, it seems to be a universally enjoyed sport. People seem to come together to watch the races and there is always an element of surprise when it comes to who will win. Another aspect of racing that people enjoy is the cars themselves, the designs as well as the wheels and tires. It is always exciting to see a car with an American racing 20” Lincoln navigator tire wheel package. So as the saying goes,it’s anyone’s race.

With such major races coming up, this weekend is sure to be an exciting one for racing fans as well as racing history. It will be exciting to see who takes home the title and to see how well each team performs at such a prestigious race.
