The speedway is notable for hosting the annual Hoosier Hundred USAC Silver Crown Series race, first held in 1953. The first automobile race held at the track dates to 1903.

Over the years, the Hoosier Hundred has been considered one of the richest and most prestigious open wheel Sprint car races in the United States. The event takes place at the one-mile (1.6 km) dirt oval at the fairgrounds complex, known as the "Track of Champions."

Qualifying and/or heat race(s) lead up to the main event, a 100-lap, 100-mile (160 km) race held under the lights. Currently, the Hoosier Hundred is held on Memorial Day weekend, the same weekend as the Indianapolis 500, which is held nearby at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
