Track Info
With four corners banked at 9 degrees, 12 minutes, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway drives more like a road course than an oval. But each of the corners is different, with weather influencing the car’s characteristics. The straightaways are 5/8ths of a mile long — time to catch your breath and dive into the next corner.
The 2014 Indianapolis 500 will go down as the most competitive race in Indianapolis Motor Speedway history. Open with the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on Saturday, May 10. Opening Day practice for the Indy 500 will take place Sunday, May 11
All four divisions of the Road to Indy ladder will participate in the meeting, with doubleheaders for the Cooper Tires Indy Lights (Liberty Challenge and Freedom 100) and IndyCar Series (Grand Prix of Indianapolis and Indianapolis 500), and road course races only for the USF2000 and Pro Mazda Series, with Lucas Oil Raceway hosting oval races for the two series during the oval race weekend. The Stadium Super Trucks will also race in the Indianapolis area on Carb Day at the speedway.

INDIANAPOLIS — James Hinchcliffe will have to wait a little bit longer before he can return to the track.
The Oakville, Ont., driver was evaluated Tuesday and IndyCar’s medical team has yet to clear Hinchcliffe to begin Indianapolis 500 practice. He was progressing well and is now cleared to begin light training with a another evaluation set for Thursday.
The 27-year old driver was diagnosed with a concussion Saturday when he was hit in the head by debris in the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis. He was taken on a stretcher to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway medical centre and was later transported to a hospital.
