Indy 500 Carb Day Tickets
Indy 500 Carb Day Tickets
Indy 500 Carb Day is the high-energy Friday tradition that jump-starts race weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It blends the final Indy 500 practice session, the fast-paced Pit Stop Challenge and a big infield concert, turning the Brickyard into an all-day music festival. The name nods to the race’s carburetor era, but today it is all about modern horsepower on the track and a packed crowd in front of the stage.
Expect national headliners and fan-favorite openers spanning rock, alternative and country, a festival-style lawn, singalong sets and that unmistakable pre-race buzz. With trackside concessions and nonstop action, Carb Day delivers a rare mix of live music and motorsports you can feel from the first chord to the checkered flag. Buy Indy 500 Carb Day tickets from Vivid Seats for easy shopping backed by our 100% Buyer Guarantee.
