MIAMI - 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.
Homestead-Miami Speedway is one of the few facilities in the world capable of hosting events from three NASCAR divisions as well as Indy Car racing and major sports car racing.
Its events are seen by millions of sports fans via network television partners, with NBC Sports showcasing the Miami 300 and the Pennzoil 400. With seating for 72,000, Homestead-Miami Speedway is already one of South Florida's largest sports stadiums.
The Speedway opened in 1995 with the inaugural event, drivers such as Dave Rezendes, Kenny Irwin and Rick Crawford have found victory lane in the ultra-modern facility. In 1998, Michael Andretti became the Speedway's first two-time winner, taking the Marlboro Grand Prix of Miami for the second consecutive year. Although not a points race, former Daytona 500 champion Geoffrey Bodine was the Speedway's first "winner" of a race, taking top honors in a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series exhibition race on Nov. 4, 1995 - the day before Jarrett won the inaugural Jiffy Lube Miami 300.
