Permanent Collection:The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, located five miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis on the grounds of the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway, is recognized as one of the most highly visible museums in the world devoted to automobiles and auto racing. Visitors can see the Museum's rotating collection of historic vehicles, including The Marmon "Wasp," which won the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911, and a rare 1935 Duesenberg Model JN four-door convertible passenger car, of which only three were built. The Hall of Fame Museum also displays the equipment and methods used for timing and scoring the Indianapolis 500 from the first race to the 21st century, including a viewer-activated computer presentation that explains the progress through the years. An extensive trophy collection, including the famed Borg-Warner Trophy, which honors the winner of each Indianapolis 500, is also on display along with auto racing trophies, honors and awards from around the world.
