Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum 2018

Explore the Rich History of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Auto Racing!
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, located five miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis on the grounds of "The Greatest Race Course in the World," and is recognized as one of the most highly visible museums in the world devoted to automobiles and auto racing. In 1987, the Speedway grounds were honored with the designation of National Historic Landmark.
Anton "Tony" Hulman Jr. and Karl Kizer, the Museum's first director, established a museum in 1956 to display race vehicles and memorabilia, principally associated with the Indianapolis 500 race. The first Museum building was located at the southwest corner of the Speedway's property where the Speedway's Administration Building now stands. It was large enough only to display a few vintage race cars. Before long, it was obvious something more substantial was needed.
During 1975, Hulman built the larger, more modern Museum facility within the Speedway oval, its opening coinciding with the United States Bicentennial celebration in 1976. Constructed of pre-cast cement and Wyoming quartz, the Museum’s display space measures approximately 36,000 square feet. The building also houses two gift shops owned by the Speedway, the track's retail photography store, and other offices.
The Museum’s collection encompasses race cars from many series including IndyCar, NASCAR, Formula One, Sprint, Midget, motorcycle races, and drag racing. The collection encompasses motorcycles, dragsters, cars and other vehicles that have set world land speed records at various points in history.
