    Stories Behind the Spectacle Capital Campaign

    In July 2023, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum announced the public phase of a $89 million capital campaign – The Stories Behind the Spectacle – to fund a complete transformation of the Museum, its first significant renovation in nearly 40 years.

    Remaining within our current footprint, the Museum will be reconfigured to improve the guest experience. A more intuitive layout will offer an orientation to the history of the
    Speedway and an immersive experience recreating some of our favorite Indianapolis 500 traditions. Improved air and humidity control, museum-grade storage systems, and controlled lighting will preserve our vehicles and artifacts for years to come.

    Learn more about the plans.

    ADOPT PRICELESS CARS FROM RACING HISTORY

    The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum features one of the world’s leading collections of vintage vehicles and historic race cars. However, those vehicles require regular maintenance and upkeep in order to preserve their historic value.

    Our Adopt-A-Car Program helps us conserve these priceless automobiles for future generations of race fans. When adopting a car, your generous donation helps our collections team provide the best care for these world-class cars—from thorough documentation to careful cleanings.
