What is NASCAR Brickyard 400 start time today at IMS in Indianapolis?

The start time for the 2026 Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway has not been disclosed in the coverage compiled for today. IndyStar also posted race‑result and qualifying photo stories, while Yahoo Sports highlighted winner Corey Heim and pole sitter Carson Hocevar without mentioning a schedule. CBS Sports supplied predictions and odds, and Motorsport.com offered lap‑by‑lap commentary, both focusing on performance rather than the race’s start hour. WTHR delivered live updates and a weekend‑preview feature, yet none of these eight sources included a definitive start‑time.

Because the assembled reports omit a precise kickoff, readers must assume the official time has yet to be released publicly. The omission across multiple outlets suggests that NASCAR or the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has not posted the hour at the time of reporting. Consequently, fans cannot confirm when the green flag will drop based solely on the current articles. Watch for an update on NASCAR.com, which often posts pit‑stall assignments and logistical details, as well as a follow‑up TV schedule from IndyStar that may list the broadcast window.

Local station WTHR typically adds start‑time information in later live‑update feeds. As the event approaches, the official IMS website is likely to publish the exact kickoff hour for viewers and attendees.
