Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum
Located inside the speedway grounds, this museum houses past Indy 500 winning cars and the Borg-Warner Trophy. It's a pilgrimage site for motorsport fans.
The museum sits in the infield of the speedway. It was thoroughly renovated in 2024 and houses around a hundred champion race cars, including the 1911 inaugural Indy 500 winner, the 'Wasp,' as well as the silver Borg-Warner Trophy, which bears the portrait of every winner. The galleries also cover the track's history, the evolution of safety technology, and the NASCAR and F1 races held here. Admission is about $25, and it can be combined with the in-track bus tour on a joint ticket. A visit takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. It's about 15 minutes by taxi from downtown, and there is free parking.
