Many people are surprised to discover South Florida has a race track. Understandably so. We might be South, but we’re not exactly Southern – and there’s nothing more Southern than Nascar. The Homestead-Miami Speedway is a whopping 640-acre facility that’s active more than 280 days a year. They host the annual NASCAR Championship Races during […]
