Homestead Miami Speedway holds a special spot in the world of North American auto racing as it is the speedway that hosts the last race of the season for five major North American racing series - IndyCar, Grand Am Rolex Sports Car, and all three of NASCAR's premier series.
As a long racing season winds down into the winter months, the 1.5 oval track provides the perfect location for a fitting end to a highly competitive racing season.
While most of the country experiences miserably cold temperatures, Homestead spoils race fans with weather worthy of a tropical oasis.
What better way could there be to end a long, competitive racing season than hosting the last race at a speedway that sits just a short drive from one of the world's most famous beaches - Miami Beach.
Day Trip: Miami Beach
No race vacation to Homestead would be complete without a trip to one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world - Miami Beach.
The world famous beach offers loads of fun for race fans of all types and ages.
Parents can enjoy watching their children making sand castles while young adults will love the bars and night club scene along the beach.
And when you get tired of hanging on the beach, there are many other fun things to do and attractions to see in the city of Miami.
