It was the first year the event was held as part of the Tudor United SportsCar Championship. The 2014 Brickyard Grand Prix was the ninth of thirteen scheduled sports car races of 2014 by IMSA, and it was the sixth round not held as part of the North American Endurance Cup.

Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) and Michael Shank Racing (MSR) entered one Ford-powered Riley MkXXVI.

BAR1 Motorsports, CORE Autosport, JDC-Miller MotorSports, Performance Tech, PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, and 8Star Motorsports entered one car each. GTLM was represented by ten entries from five different brands. In the list of GTD entrants, eighteen GT-specification vehicles were represented by six different manufacturers.

## Practice

There were two practice sessions preceding the start of the race on Friday, both on Thursday. The first session on Thursday morning lasted 90 minutes while the second on Thursday afternoon lasted an hour.

## Qualifying

Thursday afternoon's 80-minute four-group qualifying session gave 15-minute sessions to all categories. Cars in GTD were sent out first before those grouped in GTLM, PC, and Prototype had three separate identically timed sessions. Regulations stipulated teams to nominate one qualifying driver, with the fastest laps determining each classes starting order. IMSA would arranged the grid to put all Prototypes ahead of the PC, GTLM, and GTD cars.
