Selected drivers from the inaugural Brickyard 400 field will return to Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 21 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the NASCAR classic by posing for a “class photo” and signing autographs for fans.
The “class photo” at 11:30 a.m. ET on the Yard of Bricks start-finish line will recreate the iconic shot above of the entire starting field for the 1994 Brickyard 400, the first race other than the Indianapolis 500 on the IMS oval since 1916. Jeff Gordon won the first NASCAR Cup Series race at the Racing Capital of the World.
Drivers expected to pose for the photo include Jeff Burton, Gordon, Bobby Hillin Jr., Ernie Irvan, Dale Jarrett, Rick Mast, Ricky Rudd, Morgan Shepherd, Hut Stricklin and Rusty Wallace.
The drivers also will be introduced to the crowd at 1:20 p.m. on Victory Podium. Then all the returning drivers except for Burton, Gordon and Jarrett – who have broadcast or race team management commitments at the track – will participate in an autograph session from 1:30-2 p.m. in the Midway.
