Indianapolis Motor Speedway is probably the most famous of all the North American oval tracks, challenged perhaps only by Daytona. It is a 2.5 mile, mildly banked oval located in Speedway, Indiana just west of Indianapolis. It has existed since 1909, and is the original "Speedway," the first racing facility historically to incorporate the word. With a permanent seating capacity for more than 257,000 people and infield seating that raises capacity to an approximate 400,000, it is the largest and highest-capacity sporting facility in history. A modern infield road course, constructed between 1998 and 2000, includes the southern parts of the oval to create a 2.6 mile track.
