INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - For drivers, Saturday's first-ever NASCAR Nationwide Series race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway represents a chance to run on perhaps the most famous track in racing.

Nationwide points leader Elliott Sadler said the track is "not forgiving at all," given its long high-speed straightaways and challenging unbanked turns.
