What is the nickname for Indianapolis Motor speedway?

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is often referred to as "The Brickyard" due to the original 3.2 million bricks that were used to pave the track in 1909. The bricks were laid by hand and covered with tar to create a smooth racing surface. Over the years, the bricks have been gradually replaced with asphalt, but a strip of the original bricks remains visible at the start-finish line as a tribute to the track's history.
