Welcome to In the Groove, the official blog of O'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis. For those that don't know we are one of five drag racing facilities owned and operated by the National Hot Rod Association, and was built in 1960 and has presented organized racing events since 1961.
From March through October, the facility hosts more than 120 dates of racing on three tracks, a quarter-mile drag strip, a .686-mile paved oval and a 2.5-mile road course. Home to drag racing’s biggest event, the NHRA U.S. Nationals over Labor Day weekend, the drag strip runs more than 50 days of point-to-point action, from national events to street legal community programs.
The oval track draws racing’s biggest events, including annual visits from the NASCAR Nationwide, NASCAR Camping World Series and annual USAC races. The road course provides a home for several racing sanctions, such as SCCA, while providing an ideal resource for driving schools, corporate outings and open-road tests for professional drivers.
We are set to begin the 2009 race season and uring the course of the year we will give you a behind the scenes look at the facility, the fans that attend events, the racers, the staff, fun facts about the facility and more!
