Capture Moments In Racing History At The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, By Leroy Worley

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum is located inside the famed 2.5-mile IMS oval, which celebrates its 100th year of existence in 2009. More than 75 automobiles and motorcycles, representing the Indianapolis 500, stock car racing, sports car racing, and vintage luxury passenger models, are on display at the Hall of Fame Museum at all times. There is a fascinating collection of motorcycles is on display at the Museum, along with numerous examples of motor racing trophies, art and other attractions.

 

Since 1911, the Speedway has been the home of the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing," the Indianapolis 500. The Brickyard 400 has quickly become one of NASCAR's most coveted races since the inaugural event in 1994. The Speedway completed the Triple Crown of Racing in 2000 with the addition of the United States Grand Prix (Formula One). We no longer host that race; however, there’s been speculation it will return. So for now, you can watch a NASCAR race, the Indy 500, and the grand prix of motorcycle racing, The Indianapolis RedBull Indianapolis GP.
