Indianapolis Motor Speedway

200 Laps 500 Miles

Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Oval)

Official Track Map

With four corners banked at 9 degrees, 12 minutes, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway drives more like a road course than an oval. But each of the corners is different, with weather influencing the car's characteristics. The straightaways are 5/8ths of a mile long -- time to catch your breath and dive into the next corner.
