Historic Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park’s Original Design Was a 15-Turn, 2.5-Mile Road Course – Now a Key Playoff Venue

Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, known for its 0.68-mile paved oval, has a surprising history. The original intent for the track was to design a 15-turn, 2.5-mile road course. Though the design evolved into the famed oval, the track’s rich history adds to its allure as a key playoff venue.

Since 1995, the track has hosted 18 CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races, producing memorable moments and thrilling finishes. As the fifth track to open the Playoffs, its unique characteristics and storied past make it a must-see destination for race fans.

As the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series returns to this historic track, fans can appreciate the evolution of a venue that continues to play a vital role in the championship journey.
