The NASCAR Cup Series playoffs are coming to the Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend. The track president, Guillermo Santa Cruz, describes it as the most beautiful track in all of NASCAR. He promises a fun experience for the whole family, engaging all five senses with the roar of the engines, the smell of fuel and Goodyear tires, and the excitement in the air.
The race weekend kicks off with a doubleheader on Saturday, featuring the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at noon and the Xfinity Series at 4 p.m. The main event, the NASCAR Series playoff race, will take place on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
Certified driver Tyler Chappell takes us on a preview lap around the iconic one-and-a-half-mile oval track. He explains the stability of the car and the concentration required by NASCAR drivers to continuously lap at high speeds. The experience is likened to the feeling of the Gravitron ride.
In addition to the high-speed races, there will be live entertainment, including Cedric Gervais on Sunday, as well as food and drinks. Authentic Cuban and Latin food will be available, along with Guillermo Santa Cruz’s signature GM Guava Colada cocktail.
Visitors can bring their own food and beverages to the event, making it a more personalized and enjoyable experience. Tickets start at $35, with free entry for kids on Saturday and $10 entry on Sunday.
