  Indianapolis Raceway Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indianapolis Raceway Park is a multi purpose racing facility located in Indianapolis, Indiana.
It is not to be confused with Indianapolis Motor Speedway, IMS, which is referred to as a superspeedway, although its construction vastly predates the use of that term.
Raceway Park also traditionally stages an extensive program on the Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend (late May), the night before the Indianapolis 500 event at IMS, serving as something of an unofficial preliminary event to the far more famous one.

IRP is owned by the NHRA, and contains a dragstrip, a 5/8 mile paved oval, and the 2.5 and 1.75 mile road courses.
Perhaps the most famous IRP event is the evening of USAC oval track racing offered the night before the Indianapolis 500 (which is held at an obscure facility in nearby Speedway, Indiana.)
The track is about 25 miles west of downtown Indianapolis, just west of Clermont, with the competitor entrance (Gate 8) on Hunter Road (County Road 1000E) about a mile south of US-136, along the western edge of the track property.

Our run from Summit Racing to Indianapolis Raceway Park was an additional 325 miles, so a long run of 658 miles total for the evening.
IRP is a much more technical course than it first appears, particularly with the long straightaway, which is part of the drag strip.
IRP is a much flatter course than Watkins Glen, so we had the ability to really leverage the handling advantage provided by a light car (2700 pounds) and sticky, fat Bridgestone max performance tires.
