Tickets are on sale for the legendary and historic 2016 racing season at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Fans who have not already pre-ordered tickets can call or visit the IMS ticket office or go to IMS.com to purchase seats for events that include the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race.
“The 2016 season will be full of landmark moments that people will talk about for years to come,” said IMS President J. Douglas Boles. “Excitement has been building every day with Project 100 improvements, which enhance the sense of history and tradition that our fans know and love. Ultimately, as the eyes of the sporting world focus solely on the Speedway for the 100th Running of the Indy 500, fans won’t want to miss their chance to see history in the making.”
The season kicks off May 14 with the Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, held on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile IMS road course. Will Power will be on hand to defend his crown while competing against all of the biggest names in the Verizon IndyCar Series.
Next up is the 100th Running of the Indy 500 on May 29, a once-in-a-generation celebration of speed, progress and the pursuit of glory. Helio Castroneves will once again try for his fourth Indy 500 title, a hallowed record shared by A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears. Defending champion Juan Pablo Montoya chases a third win.
