2008 race winner Jimmie Johnson will try to climb to No. 2 on the Brickyard win list next July with his third Allstate 400 at the Brickyard victory. Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon leads with four victories.
Indiana native Tony Stewart also will aim for his third Allstate 400 at the Brickyard victory, but his first with his new team, Stewart-Haas Racing. Fellow Indiana native Ryan Newman joins Stewart as a teammate in 2009.
The 16th Allstate 400 at the Brickyard will be the second motor race of the track's Centennial Era, a three-year celebration honoring the 100th anniversaries of the opening of the famed facility in 1909 and the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911.
