Indianapolis Raceway Park is a 0.686-mile (1.104-km) short track located in Clermont, Indiana. The track was built in 1961 and is banked 3 degrees on the straightaways, 7.5 degrees on the inside lane of the turns, and 11 degrees on the outside lanes. The prefered groove is in the middle of the track (the inside of the higher-banked lanes), although it is possible to pass on both the inside and the outside.

It hosted the 2012 Mini Indy 500, the first and only running of the ARLA Elite Series' endurance race at the track. Of the 42 cars that started the race, only 8 cars finished, with Ebenezer Quiggles, Jr. taking the win. J.W. Lester finished in 2nd, despite the race being his very first ARLA start.

It hosted the eighth round of the National Racing Championship and the seventh round of the FARCE Modified Series in 2013.
