Track Facts

1

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the largest sports venue in the world by capacity, able to accommodate over 250,000 spectators.

2

The oval was originally paved with 3.2 million bricks, earning it the nickname "The Brickyard." A strip of original bricks remains at the start/finish line.

3

The road course was added in 2000 and uses portions of the famous oval, including the front straight, giving drivers the rare experience of racing on a Formula 1-level circuit inside a historic oval.

4

The Indianapolis 500 has been held every year since 1911 (except during World Wars I and II), making it one of the longest-running motorsport events in history.

5

"Battle on the Bricks" is the IMSA event name — a nod to the iconic brick surface that made the venue famous.
