INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY

SEATING CHART | INDY MOTOR SPEEDWAY WEB SITE | INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY MAP

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the world's most famous sporting venues.  The Speedway was built in 1909, and seats over 250,000.

Located a few miles west of downtown Indianapolis, in Speedway, IMS has been known as "The Brickyard" ever since its original surface was replaced with over 3 million bricks.  A strip of the original bricks remains at the finish line.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway has hosted the Indy 500 every Memorial Day weekend since 1911.  NASCAR's Brickyard 400 has been a fixture since 1994, and more recently the US Grand Prix has brought Formula 1 racing to IMS although the race is at least temporarily discontinued.  See our NASCAR Nextel Cup, Indy Racing League, and Formula 1 schedules for race dates.

The track's oval is 2.5 miles long, with the Formula 1 course measuring 2.606 miles.  The oval is actually a rounded rectangle, requiring drivers to make four distinct turns to complete a lap.

The infield at IMS houses the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, as well as three holes of a local golf course.
