is one of the most thrilling stops on a devoted fan's racing circuit. Nearly twice as large as the nation's biggest stadium, the enormous facility seats up to 400,000 racing enthusiasts between the stands and infield seating. According to Indy experts, the track is big enough to contain the Vatican City, Yankee Stadium, Wimbledon’s Championship courts, the Rosebowl Stadium and the track at Churchill Downs--all at the same time.
Since the first Indy 500 race in 1911, this famous track has become an historic landmark filled with rich traditions. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987, the speedway is the only motor sport facility on the illustrious landmark list. Fans quickly realize that whether they're attending the Indy 500, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard or the Red Bull Indianapolis GP, there's really not a bad seat in the house.
Tour the track year-round and before you head home, visit the facility's Hall of Fame Museum. Your museum visit will give you a new appreciation for the track's impressive background. Tourists will see a tribute to racing times gone by: an unrivaled collection of racing vehicles, trophy collections, photographs and historic memorials paying homage to racing greats.
