Although there are no concerts this year, the Indy Racing League will debut the IZOD IndyCar Village, an area between turns 4 and 5, where fans can interact with drivers and teams and test their skills in racing simulators.

The Acura Yacht Club returns after a one-year hiatus, and as in 2009, will have a floating bar with big-screen TVs that is open to the public. There's also the new "Trackside Club," a temporary two-story structure that will house corporate hospitality for the first time.

In addition to the air show, which will have stunt planes, a stunt helicopter and a jump team, commandos from U.S. Southern Command at MacDill Air Force Base will provide a skydiving exhibition on race day.

General manager Tim Ramsberger said ticket sales are on pace with last year and suites are nearly sold out.
