Joey Logano earned his first win of the season last weekend, dominating at North Wilkesboro by leading 323 of 450 laps. Bubba Wallace, who is so far winless this year, is the defending winner of the Brickyard 400.

Denny Hamlin is hoping to become just the fifth driver to achieve NASCAR’s Grand Slam with a win at IMS, and he enters the weekend as the championship leader.
