Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis (formerly Indianapolis Raceway Park) is one of America’s premier multiple use race facility. Constructed in the late 1950s and opened for business in 1960, the facility features a quarter mile drag strip that is home to the NHRA Nationals every Labor Day weekend, a 2.5 mile road course (now inoperative) where Mario Andretti scored his very first USAC National Championship win and a .686 mile oval that has hosted the “Night Before the 500” USAC midget race along with various USAC midget, sprint car and Silver Crown events and NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series events. Although the NASCAR events were discontinued in 2011, the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards & ARCA/CRA Super Series powered by Jegs have added Lucas Oil Raceway to their schedules.
