Know Before You Go Home
- New this year: accurate Waze and Google directions that include real time road closures.
- Vehicles will not be released from IMS parking lots until pedestrian traffic allows for clear roadways.
- As you leave the Speedway, you will be directed to the nearest interstate based on which quadrant you are in.
Cashless Facility - Be Prepared
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a cashless facility. Please be prepared to complete your ticket, credentials, parking, concession and merchandise purchases with ease during your event via debit or credit card.
Avoid the Lines, Get Here Early!
Security screening detection devices are present at all pedestrian gates. While the additional screening is a simple process, fans are encouraged to arrive as early as possible to allow time to park and patiently make their way in through the gates.
Know What to Bring
Tenderloins and Track Dogs are a must, but if you want to change up your trackside meal, bring your own snacks and refreshments in a cooler! Get up to speed now with all cooler and gate regulations before you pack for your day at the track.
