    Indianapolis is most famous for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which hosts the Indy500 race. I stayed overnight nearby to have fun here without getting too tired. When I drove here, the venue was quite large and the road was under construction at the entrance, so it was easy to miss. During the period, I asked two passers-by, who were very polite to show me the way. To get to the racing museum, you have to drive through a tunnel, but you have already entered the racing venue. Parking is free. The museum ticket is $10, and a lap of the track plus the commentary is a total of $20 per person. The commentator is very interesting. I took pictures and watched as much as I wanted on the track. It was worth it, but the sun was so strong! There are many racing cars on display in the museum, and there is also a Mario special exhibition.
