 Homestead-Miami Speedway
 
NASCAR racing made its debut in the Miami area in November of 1995 with the grand opening of Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. 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. It has been called the most beautiful sports facility in America, and is certainly the most beautiful racing facility anywhere on the planet.

While its Art Deco architecture would be considered beautiful even on South Beach in Miami, its massive size and vibrant colors make it especially attractive amongst the field of South Miami-Dade County. It is Homestead-Miami Speedway, a 434-acre facility located 25 minutes south of Miami International Airport. With the skyline of Miami visible to the Northeast, the Speedway is in one of the most ideal locations of any Speedway in America. It is within a two-hour drive of more than five million South Florida residents, yet nestled between the tranquil beauty of the city to the north, the Biscayne Bay to the East, the Florida Keys to the South and the Florida Everglades to the West.
