Indianapolis Raceway Park is a multi purpose racing facility located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is not to be confused with Indianapolis Motor Speedway, IMS, which is referred to as a superspeedway, although its construction vastly predates the use of that term. Surprisingly to some, the vast majority of motorsports events held in Indianapolis are held at Indianapolis Raceway Park, including a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, a NASCAR Nationwide Series event, drag racing and road racing.
Sprint car races and other events suited to a shorter track are held here. Raceway Park also traditionally stages an extensive program on the Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend (late May), the night before the Indianapolis 500 event at IMS, serving as something of an unofficial preliminary event to the far more famous one.
The facility also includes a 2.5 mile, 15-turn road course used for Sports Car Club of America "club" road racing events, featuring a 4,400 foot long drag strip that hosts the annual NHRA U.S. Nationals on Labor Day weekend.
