The town of Speedway was developed as a city of the future. Meant to be a testing ground much like the famed race track which is its namesake, Speedway was designed to be a city that was hospitable to the car. In a time when Indianapolis streets were often the narrow orange brick thoroughfares laid by Alexander Ralston in the 1920s and 1930s, the town had homes with garages for cars.
