NASCAR At Indianapolis Motor Speedway: 2011 Brickyard 400 Weekend Schedule

There’s a bit of an unusual schedule this weekend, as is typically the case when NASCAR heads to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Qualifying is on Saturday – not Friday, which will see two 75-minute practice sessions for the Sprint Cup Series. Then the Cup cars will return to the Brickyard on Saturday morning for their final practice, followed by qualifying on Saturday afternoon.

If you’re heading to the track, make sure you seek out information on how to attend the 12 p.m. autograph session on Saturday, which will feature most of the big-name drivers and is being billed as the largest of the season.

Here’s the complete weekend schedule for NASCAR’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (all times Eastern):

FRIDAY

1 p.m. – Sprint Cup Series practice (1 hour, 15 minutes)

3:15 p.m. – Sprint Cup Series practice (1 hour, 15 minutes)

SATURDAY

10 a.m. – Sprint Cup Series final practice (1 hour, 30 minutes)

12 p.m. – Largest Sprint Cup Series autograph session of the season

2:10 p.m. – Sprint Cup Series qualifying

SUNDAY

Approx. 1:15 p.m. – Brickyard 400 (160 laps, 400 miles)
