In addition to visiting the museum, guests can take exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours to get backstage access to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and its legendary landmarks.

While walk-in tour purchases are welcome, reservations are highly recommended. Tour schedules are subject to change without notice due to weather or track activity.

While every effort is made to update the schedules in real-time and notify reservation holders of any changes, unfortunately, Track Tours depend on track availability and can be affected by last-minute schedule changes. Track Tours still run in the rain, but severe weather may also result in tour cancellations. Guests are encouraged to call or email before their visit to confirm availability and reserve their tour on the schedule.
