Want a Pit Pass?
You cannot purchase a pit pass from the speedway.
Pit passes are hard to come by. You need a connection to a sponsor or
team who can give you one or a invitation to a suite. Companies rent
out suites for a day or so and people invited to those suites are usually
given a pit pass for an hour if they want it.
For the Indy 500 only, there is another way. You can become a Lap
Prize sponsor.
You must pledge $500 for one of the laps. Whoever leads that lap,
wins your money. Lap Prize Sponsors get: Name listed in race program,
2 gate admissions for practice and qualifying and 2 pit passes (no
garage pass). Call 1-800-822-4639 to order yours.
Note: There is also a "Hot Pass". This is for the race teams. Shortly
before race time, IMS will kick everyone out of the pits unless they
have a hot pass.

Rules for the Pits and Garages
Along the west side of the garage area, there is a long concrete
2-story structure which contains suites and public rest rooms.
There is a deck that runs around the 2nd level. You can stand
up there facing the garages and see the first aisle of garages
good.
You are allowed to stand around Gasoline Alley, which the
IndyCar teams traverse all the time. Its a great place to get a
picture, or even an autograph of a famous driver, especially on
slower practice days. In fact, probably every famous person at
the track each May crosses this path.
You can walk along the entire pit lane, only a fence separating
you from those with pit passes. So do it! And infront of the
tower, the fence is low, so you can take photos
On Community Day, the Wednesday before Race Weekend, you
can tour the pits while the IRL teams practice pit stops!

Can't get a pass? Don't Worry!
If you don't get a pit or garage pass, you can still get close enough to
observe the action!
