After the Spectacle: Tracks Around Indy
Our friends at GetInTheStands.com, the premier site to tell you where every racetrack in the country is and what's happening at many of them, has a great Indianapolis 500 recap, with all the tracks where you can catch grassroots racing within 100 miles of the Circle City.
Check it out:
OVER 300,000 SPECTATORS! That's what's been reported as the number of people who were at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this past weekend to watch 33 drivers race for the chance to drink the milk and kiss the bricks before that honor was won by Josef Newgarden. That's a lot of people in one place and, sure, many were probably from out of town, but how about this number for you.
1.3 MILLION MOTORSPORTS FANS! That's how many people live within 100 miles of Indianapolis that are active on social media and who have shown interest in some sort of motorsports. That's A LOT OF RACE FANS who very likely would love to see some great racing in person! Well, with the Indianapolis 500 only racing one time a year, it's great to know that all those race fans actually have 44 different racing venues to choose from within that same 100 miles!
A VARIETY OF OPTIONS SO, NOW WHAT? Well, get out and & Get In The Stands and enjoy some great grassroots racing by clicking here to see those 44 race tracks within 100 miles of Indianapolis. Odds are many of the racers you'll see at any given track idolize racers you know ... Kanaan, Sato, Newgarden, and others! And there's always a chance that someone you watch race locally will some day achieve great success and race on tracks as famous as Indianapolis Motor Speedway. PLUS, we'd be willing to bet there are a couple within 15 or 20 miles of where you live that you and your family could get to pretty easily to enjoy some grassroots racing!
THAT'S RIGHT... TAKE THE FAMILY! Many won't realize it but when it comes to entertainment value, heading to a grassroots oval or drag strip for a family of 4, including admission and some food and drink, usually comes in around $100 (and less in some cases). So, why not find a grassroots track in our track directory and enjoy a few hours of family entertainment this weekend. You'll probably end up seeing some great racing, enjoy some great food, and you may even see a racer that makes it to the big stage of NASCAR or the NHRA some day!
