Formula One goes to the Hungaroring, which is a twisty, narrow track, so it may favour cars more suited to lower-speed corners.
MotoGP visits Leguna Seca. There has been a bit more variation in latter results, but not much. Barberá will be absent after breaking his leg in training.
NASCAR’s Sprint Cup moves to Indianapolis, a 2·5 mile super-speedway. The Brickyard is fairly incomparable to other NASCAR super-speedway venues (except perhaps for Pocono), with relatively shallow banking. Stewart and Biffle have finished top-ten in all the last three visits, and Gordon has won there four times. If you want to take a punt on this event, bear attention to past results for any potential pick at this venue (via their stats page) going back a few years.
With lots of prime picks in MotoGP and Formula One, I would question the need to take risks on an idiosyncratic NASCAR event. Better a mediocre week than a bad week.

If you want to leave a comment on this page, that is fine, but, as this page is effectively an extension of the weekly post, I suggest that it will be more cohesive if comments are left there instead.
