File:Ims aerial.jpg, the track where the race was held.]]
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana, (an enclave suburb of Indianapolis) in the United States, is the home of the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. It is located on the corner of 16th Street and Georgetown Road, approximately {{convert|6|mi|km|0|spell=in}} west of Downtown Indianapolis.
Constructed in 1909, it is the original speedway, the first racing facility so named. It has a permanent seating capacity estimated at 235,000 with infield seating raising capacity to an approximate 400,000. It is the highest-capacity sports venue in the world.
Considered relatively flat by American standards, the track is a {{convert|2.5|mi|km|adj=on}}, nearly rectangular oval with dimensions that have remained essentially unchanged since its inception: four {{convert|0.25|mi|km|adj=on}} turns, two {{convert|0.625|mi|km|adj=mid|long}} straightaways between the fourth and first turns and the second and third turns, and two {{convert|.125|mi|km|adj=on}} short straightaways – termed "short chutes" – between the first and second, and third and fourth turns.
The Verizon 200 at the Brickyard was held on the GP layout from 2021 to 2023.
