WATCH LIVE: NASCAR AMERICA recaps Brickyard at 5 p.m. ET - MotorSportsTalk

Sunday was a busy day both on and off the track as Jeff Gordon won his fifth Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis and Roush Fenway Racing announced that Carl Edwards would not be back with them in 2015.

NASCAR AMERICA will discuss both of those topics this afternoon at 5 p.m. ET on NBCSN. You can also CLICK HERE to stream it online and on your mobile device through NBC Sports Live Extra.

Host Rick Allen and analysts Bobby Labonte and Kyle Petty will have highlights from Sunday’s race at Indy, as well as a discussion on Gordon’s accomplishments of 90 overall Sprint Cup wins and Brickyard wins in three different decades.

NBCSN’s Kelli Stavast also caught up with Edwards yesterday in Indianapolis after Roush Fenway announced that he would be moving on. You’ll hear Edwards’ thoughts on eventually leaving the only Sprint Cup team he’s ever raced for.

Labonte and Petty will also focus on Kasey Kahne, who lost out to Gordon on the critical restart of the race with 17 laps to go.

Sunday could have been Kahne’s best opportunity to win and get into the Chase, and Labonte and Petty will assess his post-season hopes going forward in the final six races of the regular season.

An IndyCar executive said there is “absolutely” disappointment that its long-awaited video game recently was delayed beyond its target date, but the series remains optimistic about the new title.

“Well, I don’t know how quick it will be, but the whole situation is important to us,” Penske Entertainment president and CEO Mark Miles said during a news conference Monday morning to announce IndyCar’s NTT title sponsorship. “Motorsport Games has spent a lot of money, a lot of effort to create an IndyCar title. What we’ve seen of that effort, which is not completely obvious, is very reassuring.

“I think it’s going to be outstanding. That’s our shared objective, that when it is released, it’s just widely accepted. A great credit both to IndyCar racing, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, something that our fans love.”

In June 2021, IndyCar announced a new partnership with Motorsport Games to create and distribute an IndyCar video game for the PC and Xbox and PlayStation consoles in 2023.

But during an earnings call last week, Motorsport Games said the IndyCar game had been delayed to 2024 to ensure high quality.

Somewhat compounding the delay is that IndyCar’s license for iRacing expired after the end of the 2022 season because of its exclusive agreement with Motorsport Games.

That’s resulted in significant changes for IndyCar on iRacing, which had provided a high-profile way for the series to stay visible during its 2020 shutdown from the pandemic. (Players still can race an unbranded car but don’t race on current IndyCar tracks, nor can they stream).

That’s helped ratchet up the attention on having a video game outlet for IndyCar.

“I wish we had an IndyCar title 10 years ago,” said Miles, who has been working with the organization since 2013. “We’ve been close, but we’ve had these I think speed bumps.”

IndyCar is hopeful the Motorsports Game edition will be ready at the start of 2024. Miles hinted that beta versions could be unveiled to reporters ahead of the time “to begin to show the progress in a narrow way to make sure we’ve got it right, to test the progress so that we’re ready when they’re ready.”

It’s been nearly 18 years since the release of the most recent IndyCar video game for console or PC.

“(We) better get it right,” Miles said. “It’s something we’re very close to and continue to think about what it is to make sure we get it over the line in due course.”
