Contested over 160 laps on the 2.5 mi km off on speedway, it was the 20th race of the 1999 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season. Dale Jarrett of Robert Yates Racing won the race. Background The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana, (an enclave suburb of Indianapolis) in the United States, is the home of the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. It is located on the corner of 16th Street and Georgetown Road, approximately 6 mi km off west of Downtown Indianapolis. It is a four-turn rectangular-oval track that is 2.5 mi km off long. The track's turns are banked at 9 degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, has no banking. The back stretch, opposite of the front, also has a zero degree banking. The racetrack has seats for more than 250,000 spectators. Jeff Gordon was the race's defending champion.Berres Mike Brickyard: Same, but different https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1955&dat=19990805&id=sg4iAAAAIBAJ&sjid=MqYFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5312,2983165&hl=en Reading Eagle Reading, Pennsylvania August 5, 1999 March 17, 2016 C4 Summary Late in the race, Dale Jarrett held the lead, but fourth-place Bobby Labonte was the only car in the top five that could go to the end of the race without pitting for fuel. A caution came out with 17 laps to go, allowing the leaders to pit, foiling Labonte's chances of victory. As the leaders pitted, in an unexpected move, Jarrett took on only two tires. Jeff Burton saw this and pulled away after taking only two tires on the right-hand side. His pit crew, however, had already tried to loosen the lug nuts on the left side. Jarrett led the rest of the way, becoming the second two-time winner of the race.
