NASCAR: 2024 Brickyard 400 qualifying updates, full starting lineup

For the first time since 2020, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is scheduled to host the traditional Brickyard 400, and for the first time since 2019, this crown jewel NASCAR Cup Series race is set to be contested with fans in the grandstands.

The four-turn, 2.5-mile (4.023-kilometer) oval in Speedway, Indiana was removed from the calendar ahead of the 2021 season in favor of the interior road course at the "Racing Capital of the World", but after a three-year absence, the oval is back and set for its first ever Cup Series race with the Next Gen car.

Through the track is the same length as Daytona International Speedway, it is not considered a superspeedway when it comes to NASCAR qualifying purposes. As a result, each driver is set to make a single-lap qualifying attempt.

The groups, and specifically the qualifying order of each group, were determined by a metric that NASCAR has used since 2020. A full breakdown of that formula can be found here.

The top five drivers in each group advance to the second round. The drivers who don't advance out of the first group are set to line up on the outside lane and the drivers who don't advance out of the second group are set to line up on the inside lane. This marks a slight change from the process which was used last season.

Additionally, NASCAR recently implemented a further change to the qualifying format. It is no longer guaranteed that lap speeds in the second round will determine the entire top 10; the results of the second round are now group-based as well.
