The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is set to return to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks on September 20. This event marks the championship's first sprint-format contest at The Brickyard since 2023. The 44-car field features a diverse mix of Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), LMP2, GTD Pro, and GTD cars.
Laurin Heinrich, currently second in the championship, will return to Porsche Penske Motorsport's lineup, replacing Laurens Vanthoor in the No. 6 Porsche 963. The entry list also sees changes from Era Motorsport and Intersport Racing, both of which were absent from the only other LMP2 sprint race of the year. The GTD Pro field remains stable, with teams carrying over their lineups from the recent Michelin GT Challenge.
With the season finale approaching, the importance of the championship points at stake, this event promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the 2023 IMSA season.
