Indy 500 Carb Day Tickets
Indy 500 Carb Day Tickets
Indy 500 Carb Day is the signature kickoff to race weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Short for Carburetion Day, it lands on Friday and blends the final Indianapolis 500 practice with the IndyCar Pit Stop Challenge and a packed concert that turns the infield into a daylong celebration. Crews dial in race trim at full speed, fans fill the viewing mounds and midway, and the afternoon headliner caps one of motorsports' most electric traditions.
It is the rare event where you can watch teams fine-tune strategy from a few rows away, feel the intensity of sub-10-second stops, then sing along shoulder to shoulder as the stage lights up. Buy Indy 500 Carb Day tickets from Vivid Seats for an easy, secure purchase backed by our 100% Buyer Guarantee and Vivid Seats Rewards.
