Fans attending the TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which features the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the Michelin Pilot Challenge, are encouraged to “Plan Ahead” through IMS.com/PlanAhead, an interactive web page that serves as a home base for fans heading to the track this weekend.
The “Plan Ahead” page features detailed information about the entire fan experience at IMS, including directions, parking, schedule, gate regulations, digital ticket and parking guides, ADA accessibility and much more.
All Speedway patrons should be aware of the following to ensure a successful day at the track:
16th Street Bridge Closure
The 16th Street bridge over White River is closed. Guests should plan to use 10th Street, Michigan Street, New York Street or Washington Street bridges over White River and take White River Parkway north to 16th Street. Guests also can continue on 10th Street to Tibbs Avenue and turn north toward 16th Street.
Gate 2 is credential-only for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so all guests must have a pre-paid parking pass. Gate 2 is not accessible from the west, so guests should plan to arrive from the east and turn right into Tunnel 2.
