Well, actually, it was just *one* brick.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway was built in 1909, and was originally paved with over 3 million bricks. As time went on, throughout the 1940s (after WWII, when the track was closed and sat in disrepair), portions of the track were paved over with asphalt. In 1952, the entire track received its first complete paving (or re-paving) all the way around the track. It was repaved again in the early '70s, and then again in the mid-1990's when NASCAR started running there.

The track (officials) have left a 3-foot-wide "stripe" of original bricks at the start-finish line. One of the track's original 1909 bricks was recovered during the 1990's repave, and was "installed" at the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway just past the exit/pedestrian bridge on the track surface. There was even a little "dedication plaque" on the pedestrian bridge describing the origin and history of the brick.
