The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana, (an enclave suburb of Indianapolis) is the home of the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. It is located approximately six miles (10 km) west of Downtown Indianapolis. Constructed in 1909, it is the first racing facility. It has a permanent seating capacity estimated at 257,325, with infield seating raising capacity to an approximate 400,000. "The Brickyard" as it is popularly known, is also the highest-capacity sports venue in the world. A bus took our students on a lap of the speedway where they used their cellphones to take pictures as they listened about its history. Once they returned at the entrance, they purchased some souvenirs and other race related merchandise.
