Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a National Historic Landmark since 1987, reopened its museum in April 2025 after a $60.5 million, 17-month renovation, named one of TIME's World's Greatest Places for 2026. Museum admission is $25 for adults, covering the primary galleries and basement exhibits. The Kiss the Bricks track tour, a separate ticket at $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and military, $8 for youth 6-16, includes a narrated lap around the 2.5-mile oval and a stop at the Yard of Bricks.
The $25 museum admission and the $15 track tour are genuinely distinct purchases, worth budgeting for both if the goal is seeing the galleries and reaching the actual track and Yard of Bricks, one ticket doesn't automatically include the other.
A $60.5 million, 17-month renovation completed in April 2025 substantially changed the museum, worth understanding recent reviews and photos as reflecting this updated version, not the museum's earlier, pre-renovation state.
Track tours depend on actual track availability and can change due to weather or racing activity, worth confirming the tour is running before building a visit around it, rather than assuming a fixed daily schedule the way a museum's hours would be.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway sits in Speedway, Indiana, a separate incorporated town surrounded by Indianapolis, roughly 15 minutes from downtown.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway rewards planning for two separate tickets and checking track tour availability directly, rather than assuming one purchase covers both the museum and the actual track. The Yard of Bricks tradition is covered in full below.
