On days that the track is not in use, the tour also includes a lap around the legendary IMS oval with a stop at the start/finish line to kiss the bricks.

Golf Cart Tours are available on select dates from April through October. *Note: If a Golf Cart tour is being offered the same day as the Victory Podium tours, that means a lap of the oval is NOT included due to track use.
