Kvapil's IMS win ends drought, but Yard of Bricks burnout stirs controversy
Carson Kvapil earned his first NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in his 64th start and celebrated with a burnout across the Yard of Bricks, a move NASCAR warned against. Kvapil was unplugged from his radio and didn’t hear the reminder; JR Motorsports’ Dale Earnhardt Jr. apologized on social media, and track workers later scrubbed the bricks. Burnouts on IMS bricks have a history, with Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson previously doing similar celebrations.
