Events for May 20th, 2013

It's true that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a thrilling place to visit during a race: The engines are roaring, the rubber is burning and the crowd members are blacking out from sunstroke and alcohol poisoning. But wouldn't you like to get an inside look at the real Indianapolis Motor Speedway? Wouldn't you love to find out what it's like underneath that flashy, garish exterior? Don't you crave a glimpse into its true essence? Get one by taking a tour of the grounds.
