Homestead Miami Speedway
Located about 30 miles Southwest of Miami, the 1.5-mile track has hosted NASCAR Cup races since Tony Stewart won the inaugural race in 1999.
The track, which seats 65,000, currently plays host to the season finale – the Ford 400. The race is part of Ford Championship Weekend, which includes the season finales for the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series.
The track was built by Ralph Sanchez in 1993-94 as part of an effort to help the area rebound from the devastation of Hurricane Andrew. It played host to NASCAR Busch Series races beginning in 1996. It is now owned by International Speedway Corp.
The track features 18-20 degrees of banking in the corners and 1,760-foot straightaways and is similar to other 1.5-mile tracks on the circuit. It was reconfigured in 1997, adding variable banking and changing the shape from a rectangle to an oval.
