It is a grave yard of old cars maybe, are they old Indy cars? I have no idea.
I think I remember this photo as the result of a tropical storm over a warehouse in Florida a few years ago. I believe the conclusion was that the cars were genuine; a Kingfish Indycar on the left and a Ferrari Dino F2 at the right, iirc.
The Kingfish was driven by Jim Malloy in the 1970 Indy 500. Crashed out before it even started the first lap.

No talk of abandoned cars is complete without mentioning Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s racecar graveyard deep in the woods of his sprawling NC homestead. Some notable cars include Juan Pablo Montoya's infamous jet dryer crash car from the 2012 Daytona 500 and the tub of Will Power's Indycar Dallara that was involved in the Dan Wheldon fatal crash at Vegas 2011.

A quick Google search provides plenty more photos, but here are a few:

A list of his graveyard cars with complete history of each is on Dale Jr's website, though it hasn't been updated since 2018

I agree.
