The Homestead–Miami Speedway is a motorsport complex consisting of a NASCAR style oval race track and an infield road course, constructed in 1995 at Homestead, a suburb of Miami, Florida, by an initiative led by Cuban-American racer and businessman Ralph Sanchez. The outer oval track and inner road course interact in several ways, sharing the straight segments or the banked turns according to the preferred layout in a given competition. Located in the tropics, Miami offers an excellent climate for racing year-round, with hot, rainy summers and cool winters with little precipitations. The road course in Homestead is the preferred layout for IndyCar and Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, among others.
The 2.21-mile (3.55-km) road course at Homestead–Miami Speedway starts in the 2-degree banked front stretch and snakes in the infield of the oval track with a total of 15 turns. Some of these turns are tight, like turns three, six, or eight, while others are fast sweepers like turns one, five, or ten. The average speed of the road course is 78 mph (125 km/h), with an average lap time of 1:42.4. There are several hard braking zones near the corners and excellent passing opportunities in the straight segments of the track.
