SEPTEMBER
BIRTHDAYS
2018 BRICKYARD 400 CHAMP
BRAD KESELOWSKI AND HIS TEAM
INDY
BAND
Brickyard 400 (September 8,
2 p.m. ET, NBC)
WATCH
Since 1996, the winner of the
September NASCAR race at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
has kissed the yard of bricks,
one of the most iconic venue
features in all of sports. The
36-inch strip that runs along
the start/finish line at the
speedway is all that remains
of the 3.2 million bricks that
once paved the track. See if
you can match the teams on
the right with similarly tiny
portions of the unique
elements from their
stadiums and arenas.
