On-Site Parking, Camping Sold Out for Race Day
Race Day parking and camping at Indianapolis Motor Speedway are sold out for the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge almost a month ahead of last year, another indication of a historic crowd anticipated for Sunday, May 24.
With phenomenal Race Day ticket sales trending ahead of 2025, when all reserved seating sold out, fans should remember to plan ahead and arrive early for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
“The momentum continues to build as we lead into the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500, and the fans who make this event so special are once again going to make the race the world’s largest single-day sporting event,” IMS and INDYCAR President J. Douglas Boles said. “Even though IMS parking is sold out, there are still many great options, including our shuttles and one of the great Race Day traditions of parking – and camping – in the yards and driveways of so many Town of Speedway residents.”
Alternative options for fans to ensure a successful Race Day experience include the following:
Speedway and Neighborhood Parking
A significant number of fans have made it a tradition to park in the areas surrounding IMS. The residents and businesses of Speedway and other communities welcome these visitors and open their yards and lots to those looking for alternate parking options. This Hoosier hospitality is key to hosting the world’s largest single-day sporting event at the Racing Capital of the World.
Bike to the 500 and Bike Parking
The BodyArmor Flash I.V. Bike to the 500 presented by Central Indiana Cycling is back for its 11th year, offering race fans a safe and healthy way to commute to the track on Race Day. The escorted, 5-mile commute starts at the AMP at 16 Tech, and riders can choose from two departure times, 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. ET. Cyclists will then park outside the famed Gate 1 at IMS.
Central Indiana Cycling will offer a limited number of pre-sold and on-site valet bike options at Gate 1 and 2 for those not participating in Bike to the 500.
Bike parking is available for all cyclists at Gates 1, 6 and 9.
Rideshares
Race fans who are not planning to park at the track should consider using a rideshare service, such as Uber or Lyft, when traveling to or from the facility on Race Day. Guests using rideshare services like Uber, Lyft or taxis will be dropped off at the corner of 10th and Polco Streets. Guests also will be picked up at this location after the race.
Race Day Shuttles
IMS also offers a round-trip shuttle service for fans. The school busses depart from either the Indianapolis International Airport or downtown Indianapolis locations and arrive at the Main Gate parking lot (between Oval Turns 1 and 2) located across from Gate 2 on 16th Street. Shuttle tickets are still available here.
