RELATED: See all the cars lined up for Sunday’s race
Jimmie Johnson : “The focus is rightly on Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart this weekend. Away from the spotlight, though, Johnson and his No. 48 team finally get back on track with a dominant showing — and “Six-Time” ties Gordon with his fifth career win at the Brickyard.” — Brad Norman
Tony Stewart : ‘Smoke’ has been on a roll and no place means as much to him as the Brickyard. — Kenny Bruce
Kyle Larson : “Fueled by a landmark victory at Eldora Speedway and increased team performance, expect Kyle Larson to ride a wave of momentum into the Brickyard, backing up his two Indy top-10s by landing in Victory Lane for the first time in his Sprint Cup Series career.” — Pat DeCola
Martin Truex Jr. : Furniture Row Racing puts all the pieces together, shedding any bad luck for another crown jewel win to pair with its Coca-Cola 600 triumph. — Zack Albert
Jimmie Johnson : “He’s won here four times before and it’s time for his frustrating summer to end.” — Holly Cain
Tony Stewart : “Equipped with a third-place starting position for his final Brickyard 400 run, look for Indiana native Tony Stewart to continue his hot streak up front — and eventually in Victory Lane.” — Jessica Ruffin
Ryan Newman : “The Rocket Man has been close the past two weeks (seventh at Loudon, third at Kentucky) and qualified sixth at the Brickyard, so let’s go with Indiana’s forgotten son to pull off the upset on Sunday. After all, his last Sprint Cup Series win came at Indy (2013).” — George Winkler
Kyle Busch: “The Sprint Cup Series champ is starting on the pole and I think he’s going to stay there to bring home his second consecutive Brickyard win. Also, with Saturday’s XFINITY Series win under his belt, Busch is eyeing a sweep again, a feat that’s only been done by him.” — Taylor Nunnally
Carl Edwards : “The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has the speed this weekend and his quiet summer is about to come to an end with his first Brickyard win.” — RJ Kraft
Jimmie Johnson : Four-time Indy winner is due for a Brickyard win and this weekend could be the year “Six-Time” ties Jeff Gordon for the most wins at the 2.5-mile track. — Maggie MacKenzie
