The race this week was unsponsored until they came up with the Indiana 250. Kinda interesting that the race is in Indianapolis this week and they had problems getting a race sponsor. While the Brickyard will take the majority of the headlines this week, the Nationwide Series will garner some attention due to Danica Patrick and Sam Hornish.
