Join us trackside Friday afternoon to enjoy the history and energy of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the greatest spectacle in racing. In preparation for the Allstate 400 running on Sunday, feel the excitement in the atmosphere as you have opportunity to tour the garage areas and watch the crews gear up for the big race as they run practice laps and proceed to qualifications. Helios and the partner sponsors are thrilled to welcome you into a private pavilion area right inside the pit row garage area where a catered luncheon and open bar await you. Enjoy the energy in the air as you network with fellow industry professionals, tour the garage and track areas or visit the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum. There will be motor coach service provided to and from the Crowne Plaza Hotel and the Speedway.

About the Track

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was built on 328 acres of farmland five miles northwest of Indiana's capital city in the spring of 1909. Financed by four local businessmen, Carl Fisher, James Allison, Frank Wheeler and Arthur Newby, it was planned as a year-round testing facility for the fast-growing automobile industry in Indiana. Occasional race meets would be presented at the track, featuring those very same manufacturers racing their products against each other. Spectators, it was reasoned, would be sufficiently impressed as to want to head downtown quickly to the showrooms for a closer look at one of these new-fangled contraptions.
