An ok race track. We came from Wisconsin to see some friends of ours race. We planned on going into…read morethe pits to hang out with them and visit for the day. When we went to pay for the three of us (myself, wife, and 2yr old daughter) it was $90 to get into the pits. We've been to plenty of tracks before we had a little one and are totally used to how much it is to get into the pits- but didn't expect them to charge full adult price for a toddler who was going to be carried the whole time. Especially when general admission is free for kids under 14. When we asked why it was full price for her- and not maybe half price ($15) we were met with a rude attitude from the woman in the booth. We ended up paying to stay since we drove all that way but we won't be back and we will be sure to forward the info on to all our racer friends and fans.

The racing is action packed with Modifieds and stock cars weekly along with a lot of special classes. Concessions are very good and fairly priced. The track has a lot of history and has been there since the early 1900's; however, the facilities are very modern and recently remodeled. Racing at the Montpelier track is a great experience for any family.

One of the most underrated parts of the park? The food!!! The grill has everything you need for a day at the track - drinks, hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, candy, shaved ice, pasta salad, chips, fresh fruit, etc!! They also have an extensive breakfast menu, and sell bags of ice. They also sell merch like t-shirts and hoodies. There are bleachers to watch the races from outside, and lots of indoor seating with outlets if you need to charge your phone. Family owned and operated. Staff is always super friendly. The racing scene here is unmatched. It's a great place for both kid karting and adult kart racing, and you can rent out parking spots to park your trailer as well as garage spots at the track. There are also rental karts. But you'll have to talk to the driver in the family to know more about that!!! Wonderful way to spend a weekend. Pro-tip: Wal-Mart, gas station, and decent hotels are close by!! Thanks New Castle!!

THE BEST! This is the best track I know of in the Midwest. They have an amazing track with…read moreseemingly unlimited configurations. Excellent staff and volunteers that ensure you have a safe, fun day of racing. They offer garage rental or offer nice areas for setting up your own pit area. They have an onsite parts department plus offer delivery from Comet Kart Sales to the track on items they don't have at the track. They have rental karts so everyone can join in the fun. They have camper spots, bathrooms with full showers, a restaurant and full bar. I cant say enough good about this place. If you have racing in your blood you will consider this your home track after trying it once. GO!

My fiancé loves racing and we always have a great time when we visit the Indianapolis Speedrome…read more They have a great variety of races. There isn't a bad seat in the house however I suggest bringing bleacher seats for the wooden bleachers. Hold off on eating dinner before you come as well. Their nachos are delicious and their tenderloins look pretty good. I LOVE the margaritas that they sell and the sugar rim tops it off perfectly. For the kids or kids at heart, they have snow cones, cotton candy, and dippin dots! The biggest complaint I have for this place is that many fans smoke in the stands and it's hard to get away from the smell. I wish they would ban smoking. Also be prepared to hear some foul language as the fans are really invested into the races. If you can handle those few bad things, come on out for family fun at the Indianapolis Speedrome

The restrooms had mirrors, which differed from the Indy Speedrome. They were decorated pretty nicely too. They had a concession stand with food, and many stands and a few food trucks. There was a cotton candy stand, ice cream, and beer stand. The prices were pricey but not too terrible. It was $12 for adults and less for children. They take credit cards at the ticket booth, but the food stands you need cash. Unfortunately there weren't a ton of racers. It was still exciting, like I said, I love the Speedrome. But the main event, the figure 8, there were only 7 cars. The track is so big the cars barely made contact. There were 4 races and then the figure 8 to end the night. They have different types of cars in each race. One of the races they had minis, which were so cute! Hopefully they can get more racers involved. I'd hate to see the place not make it. It's a lot of fun and really exciting to watch!

This was my first time here, and has been rather a dream to come check out. LUCKILY i have some extended family that lives not far from the track. I only purchased tickets for the finals day because i didn't want to make a job out of coming for a whole week. I ended up going with the Top Eliminator Club tickets, which have a stout price, but it comes with some actual nice perks! There is a separate building you can go chill at with tons of seating and tv's everywhere to keep an eye on the action. It is an all-day event, so being able to go relax somewhere a little less loud and sit with your food is pretty nice. Outside there are tents that had I think 10 different types of drinks available free for TEC and you get breakfast in the morning which was fruit and sugary treats and then for lunch you get (1) run thru the lunch line so load up! (the wrist band has a thing they cut off) The food was pretty dang good! i figured after being in those big steamer trays for awhile all the flavor would have evaporated. It was well worth the extra cost and my wife who does not follow racing at all enjoyed the whole experience. The whole body rumble from the nitro funny cars was intense to say the least so the TEC building is a pretty cool thing to retreat to. I can't wait to do this again!

Lucas Oil Raceway Park in Brownsburg is about 10 miles west of Downtown Indianapolis. It includes a…read more0.686-mile oval track, a 2.5-mile road course, and a 4,400-foot drag strip which is among the premier drag racing venues in the world. The NHRA U.S. Nationals runs here on Labor Day weekend each year. It's the biggest, the longest and most historic drag racing event in the world. We always enjoy seeing the Pro Stocks, Funny Cars, Mototcycles, Alcohol Dragsters and Top Fuel Dragsters on the well maintained track. In 2008, NHRA shorten the distance of the Funny Car and Top Fuel Dragster car races to 1,000 feet from the standard quarter-mile for safety reasons. Acres of parking including ADA parking along with camping is available. There really isn't a bad seat in the stands but I always recommend purchasing reserved seating in the grandstands. I prefer to sit in section BB and fairly high up. Yes, you'll smell like nitro but hopefully the wind is blowing the smoke away from your seat. Oh, and earplugs or ear protectors are highly recommended as the cars are LOUD! Rain delayed the 2022 festivities on Saturday when we were there but after the track was dry, around 2:00, it was back-to-back racing the remainder of the day. Shortly after announcements started a sky driver floated down carrying a briefcase with $80,000 prize money for the Pep Boys NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout Speciality Race with Steve Torrence winning the prize money. The other exciting run on Saturday was Justin Ashley in a Top Fuel Dragster who broke the track record with 335.032 but Brittany Force broke Ashley's new record on Sunday with 337.75.

I have been involved with both open wheel oval track racing and stock car oval track racing for 60…read moreyears. I've built, tuned, crewed on, and driven everything from street stock jalopies to late model stock cars, to supermodifieds and sprint cars. I've watched or driven close to 500,000 laps at various venues around the country, from 1/4 mile ovals to super speedways. IMS is perhaps the poorest place I've ever been to try to watch a race. I attended both the Indy 500 and the Brickyard 400 there last year. Whoever decided to build a 3 story grandstand on the INSIDE of the front straightaway and a museum in the infield was an idiot. There is not a seat in the house that can see more than about 1/4th of the track. What I mean is, at 220 mph a lap takes about 40 seconds. So every 40 seconds you get to see the cars go by for about 7-10 seconds at speeds so fast that you can't even read the numbers on them. If you are a race fan you'll be disappointed. If you're there primarily for the party, and the hip hop DJ blasting away in the infield you might have fun. I didn't. I would rather have paid to watch paint dry in a sauna. I live 4 miles from IMS. It took 4 hours to get home after the Indy 500. I paid for preferred parking and ended up a mile from the track. For the 500, the concession stands ran out of food at about 2 pm, or about halfway through the race. I'm not spending money to go to this venue in the foreseeable future.
