For one day a year, Indianapolis gets to be the coveted Fourth City, where we are one of the most…read moredensely populated cities with 1 in 1000 or so people in the country in attendance. The Indy 500, or any of the festivities, is a bucket list item if you ever live around the city. I got to attend this year and had a blast! There are a good amount of facilities infield and out, but race days allow in coolers with food and drink in non-glass containers. There are also a lot of entry points, so make sure to choose which one is closest to your seats and your parking for easiest ingress and egress. With all the people at the Speedway on race days, they do a great job with security, safety, and spacing of everything. Just make sure to wear your best walking shoes!

What a venue! It's my 2nd time at the Indy 500 and it never disappoints. I've sat on the…read morebleachers on turn 1 (2017) and turn 4 (2026). It's the greatest spectacle in racing...and one of those things to be checked off that bucket list. Negatives - it does take a bit to get inside the IDS on race day...so have patience. The bathrooms weren't bad as far as wait time but some stalls ran out of toilet paper. Notes - I recommend sitting higher in the bleachers cause it's you're down low it's hard to see and the cars come whipping around. The last time we were there I was in row Z. I also recommend bringing something to sit on. You can bring soft sided coolers with drinks (alcohol beverages too). My son wore headphones the majority of the race and I wore my loop earplugs...helps not to be deaf the next day.

What an awesome experience! Speedway Indoor Karting is one of those places that makes you feel like…read morea kid again, while still being perfect for families, groups of friends, or even a fun team outing. From the moment we walked in, the energy was high--bright, clean, and full of excitement. The karts are fast, smooth, and really well-maintained. You can tell they put a lot of effort into safety as well as fun. The staff goes over everything clearly before you start, so even first-timers feel comfortable and confident. Once you're out on the track, though, it's pure adrenaline! The layout is great, with enough twists and turns to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. For families, this is a fantastic activity. Our kids had a blast, and it was so fun to see everyone laughing and getting into the competition. That said, it can get a little pricey if you're bringing a big group, but the experience is unique enough that it feels worth it for a special outing. What I really appreciate is the professionalism of the staff. They're friendly, patient, and keep things running smoothly even when the place is busy. The facility itself is clean, modern, and has more to offer than just karting--they've got other activities, food, and areas to hang out, which makes it easy to spend a whole afternoon here. Overall, Speedway Indoor Karting is a must-do if you're looking for something exciting and different. Whether you're a racing enthusiast or just want a fun activity for the family, you'll leave with big smiles and great memories. Highly recommend!

What a random but fun night on the karts! I must drive like Miss Daisy because I came in last place…read moreon each round but it was so much fun! Lol Check-in and signing the waivers was a breeze. We had to watch a short safety video before we got started but it was certainly helpful. The only con: I asked one of the employees if the protective head scarves were new and he responded, "yeah, we wash them everyday" lol. So I'm assuming they're not new, which I would prefer or I would bring my own lol.

I just wanted to thank you for such a great day for my Grandson Joseph on his ride-along this past…read moreSaturday (April 13, 2013) at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis. I first contacted you early in the year and explained that Joe has significant special needs and asked if you could accommodate him to do the ride. Everyone there and at the track went out of their way to make this a day that this wonderful 9 year-old will never forget. The crew at the track went above and beyond to assure that his ride was fun while at the same time making sure that he would be safe. They never once lost patience or gave the impression that they were upset with the situation. In fact one of the staff said to my son-in-law, "don't worry, we will make this happen"....and they did. I hope that you will check out the pictures that we've posted on your Facebook page of Joe in his wheelchair with your driver and other pictures. I also want to commend the driver. He was great with Joe and so very nice to our family. I'm sure he felt extra pressure driving a child with Joe's issues. We can't thank you enough for what you did for Joe. This is a wonderful boy who spends a lot of time with doctors, in the hospital. This was such a special treat for him. I hope that someone there will let Rusty Wallace know that you are doing his name justice and that he can be very proud of the work done in his name. Again, thank you so very much for making ours and most importantly Joe's day. You are a very special group of people. All the Best, Paula French Indianapolis IN

Everybody knows Speedway for it's races, most importantly the Indy 500 which is known…read moreinternationally. I recommend to every one visiting the town or surrounding city to visit the Motor Speedway Museum and also take a little tour around the track. A small town within a bustling city. Has it's own school and library system and so on. It's a little weird, but also precious. The most famous area is Main Street, which has seen a lot of remodeling in recent years, which brings new business and made the street wider and more accessible and arguably prettier, but also took away a lot of the ambiance and flair it used to offer. Speedway also has very nice trails, parks, loads of small restaurants and shops and of course lots of fast food and chains also.

This place really booms on the day of the 500. This place also has some nice little shops, parks such as Meadowood Park and restaurants. A lot of it restaurants and shops are focused off of Main Street, which serves as the city's downtown area of sorts. There is a nice running trail that goes through the heart of the city. I ran a few 5Ks on it is how I know. This city is relatively clean and does not have as much crime as Indy. It is home to Daredevil Brewing Company, the Dallara IndyCar Factory, and an indoor go-cart track. The Motor Speedway has a museum and offers tours. I have went on it a couple of times and it is nice. You can actually ride a bus on the track and get out and kiss the bricks. Outside of that there is not much to the city. I try to avoid the the city during the big race at all costs, because it is way too packed for my comfort. This is a decent low key city to escape the hustle and bustle of Indy, but if it did not have the Speedway, it would only be a blip on the map.
