Know Your Zone

The KNOW YOUR ZONE program is designed to help Indianapolis Motor Speedway guests identify the best driving routes to their parking locations that are close to their seating locations. To make your visiting experience even better, IMS has developed color coded maps, driving routs, seating locations and special ticket/parking packages to organize the travel portion of your event experience. Always refer to the IMS map and KNOW YOUR ZONE to help find the best routes to IMS.

”All Roads Lead to Indy“ driving routes have been created by the Indiana State Police and match ZONE colors at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Live updates are also available by following the Indiana State Police on Twitter @IndStatePolice.
