SUPPORT THE MUSEUM

Stories Behind the Spectacle Capital Campaign

In July 2023, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum announced the public phase of a $89 million capital campaign – The Stories Behind the Spectacle – to fund a complete transformation of the Museum, its first significant renovation in nearly 40 years.

Remaining within our current footprint, the Museum will be reconfigured to improve the guest experience. A more intuitive layout will offer an orientation to the history of the
Speedway and an immersive experience recreating some of our favorite Indianapolis 500 traditions. Improved air and humidity control, museum-grade storage systems, and controlled lighting will preserve our vehicles and artifacts for years to come.

Giving Tuesday

We are excited to announce we will be participating in Giving Tuesday on Tuesday, November 28th. Although the Museum building is closed, we continue to offer track tours and special events such as “An Evening With,” while also continuing to preserve and care for the collection behind the scenes. As a non-profit organization, a donation on this Giving Tuesday helps the Museum with these operational costs and to tell the stories of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. To support our mission, please consider donating on this #GivingTuesday.

Although we have reached our goal, you can still donate by clicking the button below!

ADOPT PRICELESS CARS FROM RACING HISTORY

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum features one of the world’s leading collections of vintage vehicles and historic race cars. However, those vehicles require regular maintenance and upkeep in order to preserve their historic value.

Our Adopt-A-Car Program helps us conserve these priceless automobiles for future generations of race fans. When adopting a car, your generous donation helps our collections team provide the best care for these world-class cars—from thorough documentation to careful cleanings.
