After the devastation wrought by Hurricane Andrew, sports promoter, Ralph Sanchez started negotiations with the city authorities to build a facility to revitalize the area. The speedway track was completed in 1995. A thousand palm trees were planted on the 600 acre site. The grandstand can seat 55000 people and there are 750 TV monitors relaying the action. A new media center was built in 2008. The oval track is 1.5 miles long and the road course is 2.2 miles long. In 2005, lighting was erected around both circuits which uses 2.4 million watts. The Indy Racing League, Ford Championship and NASCAR races are held at the Homestead Miami Speedway.
