NASCAR racing made its debut in the Miami area in November of 1995 with the grand opening of Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla.
The ultra-modern facility, located south of Miami, drew a sellout crowd of 60,000 race fans to its first event, the season finale for the 1995 NASCAR Busch Series Grand National Division season.
In addition to the NASCAR Busch Series, the track annually hosts a variety of events including the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Florida Dodge Dealers 400 and the CART Fed-Ex Indy Car Series season opener.
The track has a $100 million annual impact on the local economy and draws more than 300,000 racing enthusiasts annually to the area.
Location: Florida Turnpike to Speedway Blvd. (Exit 6), then go east approximately 3 miles to main entrance.
