Best Answer

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway complex was built in 1909 as a gravel-and-tar track and hosted a smattering of small events before the promoters decided to focus on just one major event. The creation of the first 500 mile automobile race allowed the track to rapidly acquire a privileged status for races.
