INDIANAPOLIS, Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016 – “Speedway Speedy Pass” tickets are on sale today for the new highlight of the holidays, “Lights at the Brickyard” at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

This seasonal event, running from Nov. 18-20, Nov. 23-27 and Dec. 1-31, features more than 2 million lights spanning more than 400 displays across 40 scenes, spread along a 1.7-mile driving experience. The drive incorporates portions of the IMS road course and oval, and crosses the famous “Yard of Bricks.” Hours for the event are 6-9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 6-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday.

“Lights at the Brickyard is going to be another unforgettable event at IMS, mixing holiday cheer with our iconic facility,” said Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles. “We’re always busy from May through October here, but now we’re thrilled to have this opportunity to engage with the community in the wintertime.”
