The Indianapolis 500 is a classic tradition in Indy. But as exciting as it is for adult race fans, the race might not appeal to young children — they just might not be able to handle an entire day out at the racetrack. But that shouldn’t stop little car fans in their tracks! Lucas Oil Raceway offers family-friendly activities beyond the big race.
Car enthusiasts young and old can find a variety of activities at Lucas Oil Raceway, from weekend racing, car shows and special events. On any given weekend, spectators can catch hot rods, vintage classics, motorcycles, sprint cars and midgets competing for a top spot in their specific category.
For the full experience, catch one of Lucas Oil Raceway’s signature events throughout the summer.
