Departure
As you prepare to leave Indianapolis Motor Speedway, please be patient and note the following:
- To keep everyone safe, vehicles will not be released from IMS parking lots until pedestrian traffic allows for clear roadways. This can take up to an hour following the end of the Race.
- The Speedway and surrounding area is divided into four quadrants. As you leave the Speedway, you will be directed to the nearest interstate access based on the quadrant in which you are parked – not your intended destination. Find your parking spot on the available map and note where you will be directed.
- Please follow the directions provided as they are designed to get you out and away from the Speedway as quickly and efficiently as possible. Road closures and restrictions are in place to help more traffic to the nearest interstate. The IMS Team has worked with Google Maps, Waze and other navigation systems to adapt to these directions on Race Day to make this process even easier!
The world’s largest single day sporting event couldn’t take place without you. Thank you for helping us make post-race a safe and successful process for all.
