SPEEDWAY, Ind. -- \"I appreciate every single one of you believing in me. It\\\"s been a long [expletive] road.\" Bubba Wallace was right when he radioed that to his team after taking the checkered flag.

For a moment on Sunday, it appeared that Bubba Wallace would once again win a race under rain-shortened conditions. Wallace’s first NASCAR win at Talladega in 2021 happened in a rain-shortened race.

The Brickyard 400 NASCAR Cup Series race on July 27 at Dover Motor Speedway is under a weather delay for rain with four laps to go. Bubba Wallace held a 4-second lead over Kyle Larson before the caution flag waved for rain with six laps to go.

Indiana native Chase Briscoe won the pole in what was a top-five lockout of the front row by Toyota. Ty Gibbs and Ty Dillon will be battling for the NASCAR In-Season Challenge crown in which the winner takes home $1 million. The stages today are 50-50-60.

Five cars will drop to the rear of the field before the start of Sunday's Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (2 p.m. ET, TNT).
