Since 1911, Indy 500 tickets have been a Memorial Day staple for race fans. That’s because, back in 1910, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway found itself falling short on attendance. After success in its inaugural year, 1909, when thousands of spectators purchased Indianapolis Motor Speedway tickets to see the newfangled contraptions known as automobiles go head to head around the 2.5 mile track (more as a car manufacturer advertisement than as a race), the 1910 repeat over multiple dates hardly caused a stir among area residents. It was then decided that the track would feature only one race… a 500-Mile race that would put $14,250 to the winner. And thus, the first Indy 500 tickets went on sale, and every Memorial Day since that first one (with the exception of Memorial Days during the first and second World Wars), Indianapolis Motor Speedway tickets have meant Indy 500 tickets.

Today, the Indianapolis 500 is still known as one of motor sports’ premier races. In fact, a collection of NASCAR tickets and Nextel Cup tickets wouldn’t be complete without Indy 500 tickets. That’s why at Gotickets.com, our collection of NASCAR tickets include the best Indianapolis 500 tickets, along with Southern 500 tickets, Daytona 500 tickets, and all of the other world-class Nextel Cup stock car racing tickets. But don’t just stop at Indy 500 tickets when you purchase your next Indianapolis Motor Speedway tickets because, as of 1994, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway began offering Brickyard 500 tickets. This race takes its name from the history of the speedway, when 3,200,000 bricks were laid in order to create the surface of the tracks, and thus the track gained the nickname “The Brickyard.” Today, those bricks still remain beneath the modern racing surface, and the Brickyard 500 has become tribute to one of racing’s most legendary venues.
