(AP) -- Former Indianapolis 500 champion and Formula
One star Jacques Villeneuve is heading back to the Brickyard.

 Villeneuve will attempt to qualify the No. 32 Toyota for Braun
Racing in NASCAR's annual Cup visit to the historic 2.5-mile oval
on July 25.

 Villeneuve drove for Braun Racing in the Nationwide Series race
at Road America last month, qualifying second and leading three
laps before an electrical problem late in the race relegated him to
25th.

 The 39-year-old Canadian won the Indy 500 and the CART season
championship in 1995 while driving for Team Green. He then moved on
to F1, winning the points championship in 1997.

 Villeneuve hasn't raced full-time on any circuit since 2005.
He's bounced around several NASCAR series the last five years and
has made two Cup starts, both in 2007.
