| 2020 Harvest Grand Prix & Indianapolis 8 Hour Race Weekend Schedule |
ABOUT THE TRACK:
In preparation for the return of the Formula One US Grand Prix in 2000, a road course was
added to the infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A large portion of the course used
part of the existing oval track.
The road course is ~ 2.5 miles long and includes 14 turns.
In 2014, the IndyCar Series began racing on the course in early May, a few weeks before the
Indy 500.
In 2020, a new IndyCar race, the Harvest Grand Prix, was added to the schedule, perhaps to
help create more races in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The race is also ran on
the road course and will be run October. Whether this race will continue after the pandemic
ends, remains to be seen.
This new race was named in honor of the "Harvest Day Classic", a set of races held at IMS in
September 1916. That racing event was the only one held outside of May at IMS from 1911
through 1993. The event consisted of a 20 mile race, a 50 mile race, and a 100 mile race.
Legendary driver Johnny Aitken won all three.
