Caesars Entertainment has entered into a new partnership with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) in Speedway, Indiana and its flagship race, the Indy 500.
Under the deal, Caesars will become an official sports betting partner of the IMS and the showpiece Indy 500 annual event that takes place at the track, while the Caesars Sportsbook will serve as a sponsor for the remaining IMS races on the 2022 calendar
Caesars will also open the first betting lounge at the IMS in the form of a Caesars Sportsbook Lounge, where visitors can watch live events, access complimentary food and drink view, live entertainment and take part in motor racing games.
In addition, the Caesars Sportsbook will receive access to IMS logos and marks, digital and social media assets, as well as a range of exclusive VIP speedway experiences for its users at IMS that will be made available through the Caesars Rewards loyalty program.
