The Brickyard 400 will run Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis without one of NASCAR's most important elder statesman.
After testing positive for COVID-19, Jimmy Johnson pulled out of the race. He will be replaced by Justin Allgaier.
Elsewhere, though, it should be business as usual as the NASCAR season continues to heat up. Two-time Brickyard winner Kyle Busch will try to bounce back from his DNF at Pocono last weekend, and Denny Hamlin will try to continue his positive momentum.
Sporting News is tracking live race updates and lap-by-lap highlights from Sunday's NASCAR race at the Brickyard. Follow below for complete results from Indianapolis.

NASCAR at Indianapolis live race updates, highlights from the Brickyard 400
4:12 p.m.: Still at least 15 minutes left before things get going.
NASCAR sent out the second lightning hold notice at 3:57 p.m. ET, which means it would be at least 4:27 ET before the shelter request is lifted. Obviously, start of the race will be delayed. Love these late afternoon starts.

4 p.m.: Race will be delayed because of lightning. Business as usual this season.
3:52 p.m.: A reminder that it won't be Jimmy in the 48.
3:40 p.m.: Kurt Busch's wife, Ashley Busch, had a banner flown over the venue to celebrate Busch's 700th career start. Alex Bowman, who shares her initials, responded with a joke.
What time does the NASCAR race start today?
The green flag for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Indianapolis will wave shortly after 4 p.m. ET, assuming there are no rain delays as there have been so often since NASCAR returned to live racing in May.
Sunday's Brickyard 400 was moved back to 4 p.m. ET rather than 3:30 p.m. ET as originally scheduled. The race is scheduled for 160 laps around the 2.5 mile oval with stage lengths of 50, 50 and 60 laps.
The later start time is notable, because Indianapolis Motor Speedway does not have lights in the event Sunday's race is delayed by weather.
