The event was held two weeks after the Indiana State Fair stage collapse, which led to the cancellation of the popular AMA Pro flat-track race at the Indiana State Fairgrounds which is held nearby during the Saturday night of the race meet.

The race took place in the afternoon from 14:00 local time, in dry and partly cloudy weather, with an ambient temperature of 26 °C (80 °F).^[4]
