The gridwalk was actually on the back straight, hours before the race, and combined with the CTSCC cars.First, let’s take a look at the track. IMS is located only 5 miles from downtown Indy. It’s clear on the ride through the city that the community supports the track. As you get closer to the track, you see more race paraphernalia adorning front yards and homes. No complaints of a noisy track in this community. They like it all, from the Indy cars, to stock cars, sports cars, and the historics.

The community fully embraces the track. No complaints about noise here!
