About Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) is a world-renowned, multi-purpose motorsports complex located in Speedway, Indiana, just outside of Indianapolis. With an oval speedway, extensive infield seating, and a road course used for IndyCar events, IMS hosts iconic races such as the Indianapolis 500 and the Grand Prix events on the road course. Whether you’re here for a one-day race or a weekend festival, we’ve got you covered with practical seating information, parking options, transit details, and trusted recommendations for nearby hotels and dining.

Think of this page as your friend in the industry who can help you secure tickets and plan your visit without the hassle. We’ll share essential venue details, accessibility tips, and reliable local options so you can focus on the adrenaline of the moment.

Facilities at IMS are designed to handle huge crowds, with permanent seating that accommodates roughly 230,000–235,000 fans and total capacity in the infield and stands exceeding 350,000 for peak events. The address is 4790 W. 16th St., Indianapolis, IN 46222. IMS also provides shuttle routes that connect the speedway with downtown Indianapolis and the airport, making travel easier on race days.
