The excitement starts long before the engine do on Sunday.
Most of you already know that this weekend features the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Second to only the Indy 500 itself, the Brickyard is the next biggest race of the year here at the Racing Capital of the World, and it of course merits a series of fun lead-up events. One such lead-up event is the annual Hauler Parade, and it’s FREE to public.
You don’t need tickets to enjoy this festive event. The Hauler Parade itself takes place on Main Street in Speedway, and features trucks gathering on the street before driving together into the track. The IMS gates open at 8:00 a.m. and don’t close until 6:00 p.m., so you can make a full day of it if you wish. The main event takes place at 5:00 p.m., so you might still be able to make it if you work. For those of you making a day of it, you can check out the full schedule of events going on at the track at the Hauler Parade website.
