NASCAR at Indianapolis 2025: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Brickyard 400
Chase Elliott led much of the race after starting on pole and battled back from contact to finish sixth by the checkered flag. In doing so, he took the championship lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate William Byron. He leads Byron by 16 points with just five races to go until the Cup Series playoffs begin.
Hamlin's win pushes him to four on the season, more than any other driver.
Dover also determined the final two drivers left in NASCAR's in-season challenge. Ty Dillon's 20th-place finish happened just one place ahead of John Hunter Nemechek, giving him the win in the top half of the draw. Dillon entered the challenge as the lowest seed in the bracket. He'll face Ty Gibbs in the final matchup after the Joe Gibbs Racing driver finished fifth in Dover.
Indianapolis is one of the longest tracks on the calendar with relatively low banking compared to other ovals in the Cup Series. It'll be a challenge for drivers across the grid. Here's everything you need to know to get ready for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 27:

INDIANAPOLIS — A look at the winners and losers from Sunday's Cup race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. WINNERS Bubba Wallace — Snaps 100-race winless streak by scoring his third career Cup victory and first crown jewel win. He does it by holding off Kyle Larson on two overtime restarts to kiss the bricks. This also is his first career Cup victory in the regular season and puts him in the playoffs.

Everton 0-3 Bournemouth: Cherries feast on error-prone Toffees
The Premier League Summer Series 2025 kicked off Saturday in New Jersey, where shallow Everton struggled with errors in a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at MetLife Stadium. Andoni Iraola's Cherries got goals from Dango Ouattara, Philip Billing, and 20-year-old Daniel Adu-Adjei to collect a win after a mostly-even first half. WATCH — Everton v Bournemouth full match replay Everton traveled with only 23 men and were without three defenders in James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Michael Keane. That led to a weakened defensive unit that gifted some prime chances to the Cherries. Bournemouth feasted, and will feel good about their start after finishing ninth last season. Everton, meanwhile, need reinforcements but looked good in the first half. They finished 12th on the table last season as David Moyes' return helped right their ship. What's next? The Summer Series head to Chicago, where Everton will meet West Ham at Soldier Field for a 6:30pm ET Wednesday kickoff. Bournemouth will tangle with Manchester United three hours later. Below you'll find video highlights and live updates as they happened from New Jersey. How to watch Everton vs Bournemouth live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 4pm ET Saturday Venue: MetLife Stadium — East Rutherford, New Jersey TV Channel/Streaming: Peacock Everton vs Bournemouth live updates Final score — Everton 0-3 Bournemouth Goal scorers: Philip Billing 55', Dango Ouattara 59', Daniel Adu-Adjei 69' More subs Julian Araujo, Chris Mepham, Romain Faivre, and Remy Rees-Dottin enter for Adam Smith, James Hill, Tavernier, and Brooks. Tyler Onyango takes the place of Everton's Idrissa Gana Gueye. Into the final eight minutes in New Jersey. Everton subs Thierno Barry hits the pitch, something many Toffees fans had been longing to see Saturday. Harrison Armstrong and Youssef Chermiti also enter the fray, as Ndiaye, Beto, and Iroegbunam depart with the Toffees down three. Daniel Adu-Adjei goal — Everton 0-3 Bournemouth (69th minute) O'Brien now in error, basically giving the newly-insert Adu-Adjei a 1v1 with Pickford. The 20-year-old does not miss his shot, and it's 3-0 heading into the water break. Five more subs for the Cherries Julio Soler, Antoine Semenyo, Illia Zabarnyi, Daniel Adu-Adjei, and Alex Scott all enter the game in the 65th minute. Ouattara, Truffert, Senesi, Traore, and Evanilson exit. Dango Ouattara goal — Everton 0-2 Bournemouth (59th minute) Nathan Patterson is being pressed toward his goal by Dango Ouattara, and the Everton man does the favor of touching the ball onto his path. Ouattara slashes the opportunity right past Pickford, kissing the post and cascading into the upper reaches of the goal. Philip Billing goal — Everton 0-1 Bournemouth (55th minute) That's pretty. Billing works a 1-2 with Hamed Traore outside the 18, moving to the arc to spin a gorgeous, powerful upper-90 shot past Jordan Pickford. Blonde-on-blonde crime! Bournemouth subs Not too many changes at the break. Phillip Billing and Neto enter for Bournemouth, replacing Ben Winterburn and Djordje Petrovic. Halftime — Everton 0-0 Bournemouth A good half for preseason, that's for sure! Bournemouth on the whole were better but Everton's danger moments stand out more. Beto gets in tight Petrovic has to concede a corner after Beto got into the box for a through ball. There's no set piece magic for Everton as Bournemouth clear the danger right into halftime. Carlos Alcaraz has a rip A ball falls for Alcaraz outside the Bournemouth 18 and he curls a shot toward the near post. Djordje Petrovic has to get low to his left but it's an easier save than Pickford's stop despite looking similar. 0-0, 22'. Jordan Pickford forced into diving save Bournemouth have some possession in the Everton third, and Adrien Truffert — a replacement for Milos Kerkez — looks able on the left. His work leads into a chance for Hamed Traore, who drills a bouncing shot through traffic that takes an awkward bounce and complicated a diving save for Jordan Pickford. 0-0, 19'. Dwight McNeil an early bright spot The time Dwight McNeil missed last season was not Everton's best of the season, and the Dyche disciple is delivering some early joy down the left for David Moyes. Iliman Ndiaye also looking very up for this, and there are some atypical flicks and tricks from a Moyes side. Bournemouth also get a nice moment through David Brooks after eight minutes. 0-0 and a fun watch so far. Toffees troubled at the back Tarkowski, Branthwaite, and Michael Keane miss out, and Everton will count only one of their back three — Jake O'Brien — as a bonafide center back. And to be fair, he's played a lot of fullback on Merseyside. Everton vs Bournemouth lineups, analyzed Tyler Adams is not in the Bournemouth squad despite the game's status on American soil, as he's been given time to rest after the Gold Cup. Neither is injured U.S. teen Matai Akinmboni, though he is with the team. Julian Araujo, Illya Zabarnyi, and Antoine Semenyo begin on the bench. As for the Toffees, Thierno Barry begins amongst the subs, as does ex-Bournemouth keeper Mark Travers. Everton lineup Pickford, Patterson, O'Brien, Mykolenko, Gana, Garner, McNeil, Iroegbunam, Alcaraz, Ndiaye, Beto. Bournemouth lineup Petrovic, Truffert, Senesi, Smith, Hill, Winterburn, Brooks, Tavernier, Traore, Ouattara, Evanilson Everton team news, focus Barry is one of the Premier League wild cards for this season after scoring 11 goals for Villarreal last season. He's a strong ball carrier who thrives in the air and has scored everywhere including Beveren (20 goals in one season) and Basel (14 over two seasons). With Pickford at the back behind Tarkowski and Branthwaite, the Toffees have a good base. Let's see how they fill out the roster. Bournemouth team news, focus The Cherries have gone from 15th to 12th and then ninth in their second Premier League tenure. Staying top-half would be a success but moving further up the table is easier said than done. Milos Kerkez is gone to Liverpool and Kepa Arrizabalaga gone on loan but Evanilson, Marcos Senesi, Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier, Illya Zabarnyi, and — for now — Antoine Semenyo remain in black and red. New boys Hamed Traore, Romain Faivre, and Djordje Petrovic are among the new faces. Everton vs Bournemouth prediction It's preseason but everyone wants a prediction, yeah? Both teams can go and there aren't too many new pieces to introduce to this showing. We'll go with Bournemouth, who are a bit deeper for these 90 minutes. Everton 1-2 Bournemouth. Jake O'Brien's ill-timed backpass to Jordan Pickford gets intercepted by Daniel Adu-Adjei, who coolly tucks away Bournemouth's third goal of the second half against Everton at MetLife Stadium. A poor defensive miscue from the Toffees opens the door for Dango Outtara to bury his effort at the near post to double Bournemouth's lead at MetLife Stadium. Philip Billing delivers for the Cherries as he scores the first goal of the 2025 Premier League Summer Series with a second-half strike against Everton at MetLife Stadium.

Bubba Wallace becomes first Black driver to win a major race on Indianapolis' oval
INDIANAPOLIS -- Bubba Wallace climbed out of the No. 23 car Sunday, pumped his fists, found his family and savored every precious moment of a historic Brickyard 400 victory. He deserved every minute of it. The 31-year-old Wallace overcame a tenuous 18-minute rain delay, two tantalizing overtimes, fears about running out of fuel late and the hard-charging defending race champ, Kyle Larson, on back-to-back restarts to become the first Black driver to win a major race on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.5-mile oval. No Black driver has won the Indianapolis 500, and Formula 1 raced on the track's road course. 'This one's really cool,' Wallace said. 'Coming off Turn 4, I knew I was going to get there — unless we ran out of gas. I was surprised I wasn't crying like a little baby.' His third career NASCAR Cup victory delivered Wallace's first victory in the series' four crown jewel events, the others being the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500. It also snapped a 100-race winless streak that dated to 2022 at Kansas and locked up a playoff spot. His only other win came at Talladega in 2021. The final gap was 0.222 seconds, but that was no measure of the consternation he faced. Larson cut a 5.057-second deficit with 14 laps to go to about three seconds with six laps left as the yellow flag came out for the rain. The cars then rolled to a stop on pit lane with four laps remaining, forcing Wallace to think and rethink his restart strategy. 'The whole time I'm thinking are we going? Are we not?' he said. 'I will say I leaned more towards 'I know we're going to go back racing. Be ready. Don't get complacent here.' Wallace made sure of it. He beat Larson through the second turn on the first restart only to have a crash behind him force a second overtime, forcing his crew to recalculate whether they had enough fuel to finish the race or whether he needed to surrender the lead and refuel. In Wallace's mind, there was no choice. 'The first thing that went through my mind was, 'Here we go again,'' he said. 'But then I said, `I want to win this straight up. I want to go back racing.' Here we are.' He beat Larson off the restart again and pulled away, preventing Larson from becoming the race's fourth back-to-back winner. The victory also alleviated the frustration Wallace felt Saturday when he spent most of the qualifying session on the provisional pole only to see Chase Briscoe claim the No. 1 starting spot with one of the last runs in the session. On Sunday, he made sure there was no repeat, providing an added boost to the 23XI Racing team co-owned by basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and last week's race winner, Denny Hamlin, as it continues to battle NASCAR in court over its charter status. 'Those last 20 laps there were ups and downs and I was telling myself 'You won't be able to do it,'' Wallace said. 'Once I'd seen it was Larson, I knew he won here last year and he's arguably the best in the field. So to beat the best, we had to be the best today.' The other big race — the In-Season Challenge — went to Ty Gibbs, who had a better car than Ty Dillon in qualifying and on race day. Gibbs finished 21st o win the inaugural March Madness-like single-elimination tournament and collect the $1 million prize. Dillon, a surprise championship round entrant after making the field as the 32nd and final driver, finished 28th. 'They brought me money guns and they jammed so I decided to take all the money and throwing it to the fans and they were all wrestling and fighting over it,' said Gibbs, who also received a title belt and a ring. 'But it's super cool. It's a cool opportunity.' At different points, Austin Cindric and three-time Cup champion Joey Logano appeared to be in control of the race, but tire problems took them out of contention. Eric Jones also was knocked out of the race when his right front tire came off between Turns 3 and 4, sending him hard into the outside wall on Lap 91. They weren't the only drivers who made early exits. Ross Chastain was the first out after just 18 laps when a tap from Michael McDowell sent Chastain's car spinning into the third turn wall and caused heavy damage. The others who were out before Lap 100 were Austin Dillon, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Cody Ware. Series officials were concerned enough about the threat of rain that they moved up the start time by 10 minutes. Fifteen minutes probably would have eliminated the rain delay. But the threat of rain impacted the race long before the delay. Early in the second stage, some teams informed drivers rain was expected near the midway point and it seemed to increase the aggressiveness earlier in the race than expected. Cookie Monster made it to the track Sunday, too. The beloved Sesame Street character, who served as the Brickyard's grand marshal, attended driver introductions and took a handful of questions before the race and even offered some advice to the drivers. 'Don't stop and ask for directions,' the furry blue character said. Cup drivers will continue their brief Midwestern tour next Sunday when they race at Iowa.
