Historic Car Lap
May 24 @ 10:55 am - 11:15 am EDT
Past meets present on Race Day. Before the green flag of the Indianapolis 500, see generations of racing history take to the track. The Historic Car Lap, a pre-race tradition led by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, features historic cars from the Museum’s collection driven by former drivers and VIP guests. For one lap, vehicles representing different decades will parade around the oval, introducing the crowd of more than 300,000 to the history of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing”. The Museum’s restoration team preps all year for this moment, ensuring the cars are in safe working order.
Time: Be in your seats by 10:55 a.m. to see the lap!
