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

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.
