Homestead-Miami Speedway, Motorsport racing track in Homestead, Florida, US.
Homestead-Miami Speedway is a 1.500 mi (2.414 km) oval speedway in Homestead, Florida, with turns banked 18–20° and straights banked 4°. A 2.3 mi (3.7 km), 11-turn "roval" layout adds a purpose-built infield road course to parts of the oval. The site covers about 650 acres, and its infield holds a 90 ft deep lake measuring 0.5 mi by 0.125 mi.
Construction of the facility began in August 1993 as part of Homestead's recovery from Hurricane Andrew, which had severely damaged the region the previous year. The first race took place in November 1995 and marked the beginning of a new era for the local community and American motorsport.
The facility's art deco styling, designed by Day One, uses aqua blue, tan and purple, echoing Miami's art deco district. Since 2002 Homestead has hosted the season-ending races of NASCAR's three national series, so the Cup, Xfinity and Truck titles are decided here. The 90 ft deep lake in the infield is occasionally used for fishing tournaments.
Visitors find grandstand seating for 43,000 spectators and several hospitality suites overlooking the track. The grounds also offer specialized racing experiences where participants can drive actual race cars on the course.
The grounds house the AMR Motorplex karting facility, which offers one of the largest permanent outdoor karting tracks in Florida. During Fast Lane Friday events, drivers with valid licenses can test their private vehicles on the professional racing surface under controlled conditions.
