- It’s May, and that means Indy. Just before the racing season kicked off, I visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. Had some great tour guides who knew a thing or two about the track and its history.

Turn the background music down a little so we can hear these stories!
Or better yet off
Agreed!
It's a buzz kill for sure!
Agree, eeded to be about 6 magnitudes lower or just gotten rid of.
No background music required !! The story production should stand alone.. Stop trying so hard. 🚫 no back track, ruined it for me🤮
Tony, I work out there and have felt and heard the same thing when I'm alone! It is alive! It's not spooky at all, but a very warm and welcome feeling. Indescribable!!! Thanks for telling your story, because you validated exactly what I've said before, and I've been the ass-end of the punchlines for saying the same thing!
Never enough stories about “the track”! I’d love to hear more about AJ & Robin Miller too. Thanks for sharing.
Hoosier legend! I just selfishly wish you couldve won a couple of them
Ahh! So good to always see Tony at any track. He loves Indy. Never get enough of Smoke,a truly great man.😜🥰👍☮
TONY STEWART.........nothing but class......
Finally I have something in common with Tony. We've both been to the Basement!! Echo the comments on how great Doug Boles is. He is a huge asset to IMS and Mr. Penske!!
Did you know somebody, or just lucky?
I went to the basement last month when I was in. It is a great tour, and we bumped into Mario Andretti down there. So cool!
Wait, what? We don’t get to see the basement? 😆 I was at the inaugural US GP in 2000 at IMS, the highlight of being there was definitely the time we spent in the museum! I haven’t made it to a Indy 500 yet, but it’s on the bucket list.
I miss watching smoke.
Great video Tony, love to see more in future!!! Love racing!!!
Tony Stewart. "The Man"
Love seeing this!
14 forever !
Man that is so freaking rad! Tony is so well versed, and what stellar guys at Indy! Thanks for sharing that Tony!
I agree, get rid of the background music, I just wanna hear Tony speak, love that guy!
Much respect for Tony and love hearing him talk!
May also means your birthday. Happy Early Birthday 🎂 Tony. Maybe Leah can bake you some cookies. 💜
awesome ,Happy Birthday Tony
Background music was annoying and to loud, and could have used a few more seconds showing the cars as they walked around. The Johnny Lighting Special has to be one of the best looking cars in there.
Tony is one of the most versatile drivers in Motorsports.
Montoya
True
Thanks Tony! This is awesome man!
Happy birthday Smoke!🥰❤️🎈🎂🎉
That is absolutely phenomenal
I love the old stories. I remember watching most of them but best of all is finding out something I didn't know
Good lord… hold the camera still. Felt like I was in a row boat on the ocean in 10ft waves.
Wait? I wanna see the basement too lol...... Thanks Tony!!!
Thank you sir!!!
I want to hear the rest of the story with AJ when you came in the pits...
This is awesome! I have a few tracks that are on my bucket list Indy would be cool but Big E is on my bucket list for the world 100.
Use to love the snake pit, when the irl took over south chute for 35 bucks good times
Enjoyed video ! Thank you.
Tony, as a fan and previous competitor in piston port Jr Enduros at Blackhawk and Road America. I really appreciate your understanding that racing at the grass roots are so important. I hope you remain in the Ford family!!
Back in 1999 or so at a Virginia International Raceway historic race my daughter and I were walking about when I spotted a CART Reynard in Players colors. A Jacque Villeneuve car!? Two guys drinking beer were hanging back by the transporter and one, noticing my astonishment, said "go ahead and get in". So there I was in the car checking the shifter and roll bars like a 10 year old with a crowd gathering. He then said "Want to drive it?" YES! "GET OUT OF THERE" Laughs erupted lol
"No one was al,lowed to stay inside the track at night".. I did, and got great pictures from the top of the stands of the craziness on Georgetown and 16th. Totally crazy stuff going on out there!
Great video!
Could watch hours of this
I worked for NexGenRacers and we had a go cart track set up by gasoline alley and when everybody would leave we would sit back n chit chat n #Smokes right, the energy is unreal, it felt alive there's a certain buzz. Prolly more now cause they cut off Georgetown.
That's just BADASS
Smoke 💪🏼
Helmet Collection,
I wired Your First Helmet at Disney Worlds track in Florida .What a Long Strange Trip it's been. Thanks for the memories! Kenbo Radio
My first trip to Indy .. 1994- Pushrod Ilmor V8 Year and I was a Penske fan. I was in Turn 4 and felt like I was walking in between the raindrops. The crowd cheered.. to my dismay .. when Fittipaldi nailed the wall 60 yds from me - Scratch one pushrod car. Emmo was sponsored by the Florida Orange Growers and had drunken Orange Juice.. not Milk. In the winners circle the year before - Lol .. 1000s of fans were still hot about that- He'd broken tradition and was taking a schwacking. I remember the buzz about the pushrod engines.. People were claiming 240 mph down the front straght and that Emmo and Little Al were sandbagging. I am so fortunate for that to be my 1st 500 .. Unique year and the winners were my Team.
👍👍👍👍✌️🏁🏁 thank you.
Well.... what's in the basement? Great stories and video.
It's good to see Indy in capable and enthusiastic hands. Suits running a race track is fine, but they need to have absolute adoration for the sport.
30 years here last one 2010 need to get back
That place has an energy
Nice to see "Smoke" promoting The 500.
Awesome video
Well damn, I wanted to see the basement. Otherwise great video, thanks Tony.
I want the AJ and Robin Miller story!
Too bad this wasn’t longer of a video!!! Love ya tony!!! Have a great season of top fuel racing!!!
Love ❤️ it
New Item on my bucket list....
Got to go to the basement once and man is it cool. Not sure I should be saying this but I got to see the three GT40's that won Ford's first Le Mans
Sweet
Yeppp!!!! I'm jealous!🙃
I wanna see the basement too!!! 😃😃😃
They offer basement tours from time to time at the Speedway now......But I always tell pepple to just go to the elevator, and go down......just pretend that you are lost
Would have been huge if Tony would have won the Indy 500 in the late 90s IRL time.
Well when I visit the track in 1999. One could sense the history; that there was more activity going on. Than what was happening that day at the track.
Something else of note to me, is the night before, I drove down the street outside the front grandstands. In which you could hear noises coming from the inside like there was a race happening. So I would agree the place does seem like it is literally alive. Which I have been to a lot of different historical sites; that you get that same sense that there is activity still going on the premises.
I would also add that when I went around the track on the tour bus. It actually felt like there was other cars around you. So the feel of the history does translate into the awareness of what has happened at the track. Due to the fact that some individuals are just open and especially sensitive. Of being more spiritual aware of what has taken place at a historical site like Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Especially after all the books I have readied; aside from watching the 500 on television since the late 70s.
Ok Smoke, it's May again. And I am sure this question has been asked 100 times already it being the 15th of May. Your a team owner, and still racing. I have watched you race probably most of your career in open wheel and NASCAR. When will you race the 500? You've won the Brickyard 400, twice. No offense Smoke, if your still racing, I know, or at least believe, you would want to race Indy again, and in the 500. Add one more crowning achievement to a stellar racing career, or at least for your fans.
Wow changed since the last time I saw it.. But it was 1991. Still have the hat and t shirt I can't seem to get rid of. I of course break it out in May
By the way is the phone booth that was located about 100 yards. From the back of the gift shop in turn one and two still there, or did it get removed? Because I purposely took a photo of it along with other items I found interesting. Like the old flag stand, the construction of the viewing tower in the infield on the front straightaway.
Where is the old flag stand?
@@jessallen7756 Good question. Probably melted down for scrap. When they removed it to install the new flag stand. Right at the finish line of bricks...
Unless someone knows different that is my best answer.
@@TheCrewChief374 ....I know they have some land where some of the stuff ends up.....like the golden wheel and wings that was on the main gate before it was redone a few years ago........but , I'd guess that you are right....it was scrapped......The new flag stand is much better..........In a few weeks, I'll check on the phone....
@@jessallen7756 Well I am sure Tony could find out for us about the flag stand; since he knows some people that work there...
No cameras in the basement!!
Tony, I can only imagine the fond memories you must have from Indy. As I recall, Danica Patrick is the only female race car driver that ever did Daytona 500 and Indy 500, "Double Duty" thing.
Janet Guthrie ran both races.
Double Duty refers ro running the Indy 500 and the Nascar Coca Cola 600, in the same day....John Andretti first did it in 1994, Robbie Gordon in 1997 and then Tony Stewart became the 3rd and last driver to do it in 1999...........One thing Tony Stewartnhas done that no other driver has ever done....Is finish in last place in both the Indy 500 and Daytona 500
@@jessallen7756 You're correct on the double-duty thing. My error. Tony Stewart has won a Daytona 500 race but not as a driver. He never won an Indy 500 either.
Jess...you forgot Kurt Busch
Nice car smoke
That guy was like I got to get busy i got 150 days til the 500 at 8:30 so they shot this in January.
Tony, I would love to help with your production of these mini docs
Thank you in loving memory of Brooke covid 19 was 39 ,last February and Lynn last April can I meet you guys please
time to win INDY500........................ YOU CAN DO IT TONY.............................
Hard to hear what they are saying. Please Please delete the music!
I wish Donald could have been there too. I hope he is able to enjoy his retirement.
I want to see the basement.
I had a booze bottle replica of Al Unsers lightning special. The decals dried off so I donated it. Please don't tell me what it would be worth today.
Remember when he was a Chevy guy? I see Ford is treating him really good.
He's getting friendly w/ Dodge lately.
I just want to see the basement.
3:57 it looks like Tony was about to lose his shit on that guy. Lmao!!! Idk. It just looked like it.
Shame Tony never drove in CART during it's heyday
I wanna see the basement....
I'm surprised you knew how to get there
who wouldnt want to hang out with you tony?
You can do without the background music. We won't mind.
Indy needs really needs to make a ps5 game please 🙏
First time I've ever seen Stewart be nice to a fan. I didn't know he was cable if being that respectful to anyone
Would be nice if the camera would show the museum instead of the people talking,we can hear what they are saying still
Love to have ghost hunting equipment and do a investigation at race tracks that are on lands that have history or have drivers lost their life there. Why haven't these ghost investigation teams not investigate a race track
America used to be so awesome with NHRA/NASCAR/Indy cars…now I don’t watch any of them. If I get a racing bug I’ll watch a sprint car race
#FreedomFactory
Cleetus Cars is Today There an the Burn Out Pit is laid there now
What’s in the basement?
Tony, please hire Kyle Larson to run the 500! Make up for what NASCAR wouldn't let you do!
welcome home tony… if you can’t end up selling your house… i’ll give you $3,100 for it lmao
what was the camera man smoking
Methamphetamine
He’s driving fords and wearing Ford stuff to deny his affiliation with dodge lol
No that means RAIN
Cool interview with great stories , but whoever was recording this , don't try and record any more videos again. I was feeling vertigo 🤦🏼♂️
Do more UA-cam.
☀️ ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ
Good video except get someone else to run the camera next time, this isn't the Blair Witch project, hold the camera still!!!!
I've followed Tony since his early days. I've raced RC cars with him. I've been his fan ever since I heard of him, so I'm not a hater of any kind. I love the content of these videos. But I have a VERY hard time watching them because of his cameraman's technique. He moves the camera and "jitters" it around way too much. With all of the image stabilization tech in even the simplest cameras these days, it has to be an intended effect. I wish he would change it. As I said, I love the content though!
Music is really annoying
Back ground music annoying
