50. THE FIRST PORTION OF THE "SAFER BARRIER" WENT IN IN 2002.
The impact-absorbing wall is one of many safety features introduced at IMS.
53. THE INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY (IMS) HAS MORE THAN 250,000 PERMANENT SEATS.
However, the track never releases attendance figures.
54. IF YOU TOOK THE SEATBOARDS FROM THE GRANDSTANDS AT IMS AND PLACED THEM END-ON-END, THEY'D COVER 99.5 MILES.
That's roughly the distance between the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and French Lick, Indiana. That's a lot of butt-space.
55. THE OLD PRESSLEY FARM IS A LOT BIGGER NOW.
The IMS covers 1,025 acres. The infield covers 253 acres and the parking lots another 750 acres.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
