INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Tickets for the legendary Indy Mile AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Motorcycle race for 2014 are now on sale. The race will be held as a part of the Indiana State Fair, this year on a Friday night – August 8 from 2:00pm-10:00pm on the historic one-mile dirt track at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
The move to Friday is necessitated by conflicting events on the weekend of the Indy Mile. Motorcycle racing fans coming for the Red Bull Indy GP weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway love heading across town to witness the intense handlebar-to-handlebar high-speed dirt track action of the Indy Mile.
For 2014, that weekend coincides with the busiest weekend for the Indiana State Fair. So, in an effort to provide the best fan experience for attendees of the Indy Mile, event producers have moved the race to Friday to accommodate easier parking, crowd control and less-heavy traffic than would be the case on the State Fair’s most-attended day on Saturday.
Tickets for the Indy Mile, considered the “Crown Jewel” of AMA Pro Racing’s oldest and most tradition-rich professional racing series are on sale at www.IndyMile.com, any Ticketmaster location, www.Ticketmaster.com, State Fairgrounds box office location, or by calling Leah at 317-236-6518.
Reserved Grandstand ticket locations are priced at $31 (US) and $36 (US) in advance and include Indiana State Fair Admission and facility fees. Convenience fees may apply for tickets purchased through Ticketmaster.
Gates open at 2:00pm on Friday, August 8. Practice and qualifying will be from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. There will be a rider autograph session in the cold pit area from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. Opening ceremonies will commence at 7:00pm followed by heat races at 7:30pm and the National Final at 9:30pm.
Complete 2014 event information is available now at www.IndyMile.com or on our Facebook page fb.com/IndyMile.
