While NASCAR has officially made its return for the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series season, the Homestead-Miami Speedway track has been as hot as
the picture-perfect winter weather in South Florida.
Hosting a myriad of events throughout the past three months since
NASCAR finished the 2014 championship, the Homestead-Miami Speedway March event
calendar is full as well. I want to take a moment to highlight some of the
great events coming in the next couple of months, and it all begins this
weekend.
MARCH 6-8: 2015 Ferrari
Challenge
The Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli series is back in South Florida. A
single-model championship series developed by Ferrari for clients who have a
passion for racing, the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli has been a thrill for
fans since its inception in 1993. Racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway is the
Ferrari 458 Challenge EVO, derived from the 458 Italia and fifth model used in
the Ferrari Challenge. The Ferrari
Challenge will be practicing on Friday, March 6, and will have qualifying and
Race 1 on Saturday, March 7 and qualifying and Race 2 on Sunday, March 8.
Tickets will be available for purchase upon arrival to the track for the event,
and fans are asked to enter through Gate 18 off of Palm Drive for three awesome
days of fast Ferrari racing.
MARCH 13: Fast Lane Friday
Fast Lane Friday, usually held on the first Friday of each month, moves
to a week later for March. Driving enthusiasts are invited to try a different
type of racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as the 1/8th-mile pit
road is open to drivers to race their street-legal cars. Last month saw almost
300 cars racing, so be sure to get to the track early! The track goes hot at 6
p.m., and $20 allows you to race as many times as you would like all night.
Don’t forget – you must be 18 or older with a street-legal car with
registration and insurance to race.
MARCH 21-22: Championship Cup
Series (CCS) Motorcycle Racing
The racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway transforms from four wheels to
two for the Championship Cup Series Motorcycle racing. Utilizing the 2.21-mile
road course, CCS has become the leader in Sportsman Level motorcycle road
racing across the nation. Fans are invited to watch all the action from the
grandstands and the infield, with Paddock Passes beginning at $15.
