Speedway

Tucked into central Indiana’s flat lowlands near the White River, Speedway is a town whose character is shaped by the level terrain that made a vast oval circuit possible. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, opened in 1909, anchors the community and hosts the Indianapolis 500, first run in 1911. Its 2.5-mile oval is one of American motorsport’s defining venues, while the start-finish line preserves the celebrated Yard of Bricks, a strip of the track’s original brick surface. Although enclosed by Indianapolis, Speedway remains an incorporated town with racing at the center of its public identity.
