A new feature presented by IMS and Allstate, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard Fan Tour is designed to increase excitement and awareness among NASCAR fans across the Midwest. The Fan Tour kicks off Friday, May 25 at the USAC Silver Crown Hoosier Hundred race at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis and continues through September.

•A racing simulator that allows participants to sit in genuine racing seats.
•A cutaway of a NASCAR race car which reveals the inner workings of the car to fans.
•The Allstate 400 at the Brickyard trophy.
•Driver memorabilia, including helmets, fire safety suits, die-cast cars and autographed equipment.
