The famous Brickyard track at Indianapolis will host a round of the MotoGP world championship in 2008.
Motorcycle racing will return to the famous track for the first time in nearly a century.
The US will host two rounds of the 2008 championship, with the Indianapolis race on 14 September following the US GP at Laguna Seca in California.
The MotoGP circuit will be a new 16-turn 4.1km road course, with riders racing in an anti-clockwise direction.
Indianapolis has hosted the US Formula One Grand Prix since 2000, but last week Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone confirmed that there would not be a 2008 race at the track. MotoGP's current world champion is Honda's Kentucky-born Nicky Hayden.
