Discover Speedway: Racing, Main Street and hotels
Accommodation in Speedway
If you’re looking for a hotel in Speedway, a clear reason for your trip can help guide your choice: would you like to focus on the history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, plan a specific visitor experience, or also explore Main Street and the B & O Trail? These priorities can help you narrow down a suitable travel period and hotel offer.
Racing history
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the oldest continuously operating racetrack in the United States. More than 100 races of 500 miles have been held at the facility, including the Indianapolis 500. This brings two historical aspects together: the track’s continuous operation and the repeated staging of long-distance races. For visitors interested in racing, this distinguishes the facility’s long history from that of its 500-mile race format.
Tour and simulator
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum offers a 90-minute golf cart tour. It takes visitors behind the scenes to the Pagoda, Gasoline Alley and the Victory Podium. Tour availability depends on the date; check for suitable dates before making it a firm part of your plans. The Dallara Experience Hub offers a racing simulator experience. Unlike the tour, which focuses on a ride to named locations, the hub focuses on the simulator. The simulator experience may not always be available; check its availability for your travel date as well.
Local history and Main Street
The boundaries of the Speedway Historic District match the original platted boundaries of the Town of Speedway. This historical reference therefore concerns the Town’s boundaries, while the history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway concerns the racetrack’s years of operation and its races. Local history and racetrack history thus offer two distinct historical perspectives.
Speedway’s revitalized Main Street is a hub for local breweries, restaurants and shops. In contrast to the racetrack, the focus here is on dining and shopping. Individual businesses and their terms may change; if a particular restaurant or shop is important to your plans, check the latest information directly before your visit.
Trail, bus and hotel search
The B & O Trail connects to Leonard Park in Speedway. If this connection is important to your stay, check current route conditions before your visit, as they may change.
Indy Go Bus Route 10 connects downtown Indy to Speedway via 10th Street; the bus ride takes 30 minutes. Before setting out, check that the route and schedule suit your travel date.
Then compare specific hotel offers based on location and the amenities that matter to you. This lets you take your travel priorities into account and assess each hotel based on the details of its specific offer.
