The Indianapolis 500 motor race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the most important automobile races in the world. With seating capacity of over 300,000, you will find a spot to watch the 500-mile (805-kilometer) Indy 500 or the other main race, NASCAR’s Brickyard 400. Bring your enthusiasm and ear plugs as you watch the cars do 200 laps around the oval track. The speedway was built more than 100 years ago, establishing a model for racing around the world. See the history behind the sport at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum.
