The Brickyard 400, one of NASCAR’s biggest races, will be run on a Sunday next year at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The race, scheduled for Aug. 5, had been the only Saturday afternoon fixture on the Winston Cup schedule. The change was announced Tuesday when NASCAR released a 36-race schedule for 2001. It includes dates for new sites in Joliet, Ill., and Kansas City, Kan.
New television rights holders Fox Sports, FX, NBC Sports and TBS announced coverage plans, which include a record 28 Winston Cup events on network television and 10 races on cable.
Fox Sports starts the season with 11 consecutive weeks of coverage, beginning with the non-points Bud Shootout on Feb. 11 and the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18.
