[Josef] Newgarden, a native of Hendersonville, Tenn., was a guest at Sunday‘s NASCAR Cup race at Nashville Superspeedway and the back-to-back Indianapolis 500 champion reiterated his desire to one day drive in NASCAR.

…

"Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I‘d love to drive a Cup car at some point. You know, I used to go to Bristol races as well when I was a kid. Bristol‘s always been, like, very high on my list," he said. "This track and Bristol were probably the two that I went to the most to see Cup races.

"To do the 'Double‘ (Coke 600 and Indy 500 on same day) would be a great opportunity. I don‘t know if that will ever take shape. It‘s really tough nowadays to get that all lined up.
