The concrete walls around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2 1/2-mile track will be replaced with steel-reinforced concrete built to the international standard of 39 inches high. The walls currently are about 30 inches high.

Last month, the head of the International Federation of Auto Sports said he wants Indianapolis to join the Formula One racing circuit.
