This aerial panorama of Homestead-Miami Speedway was taken by James Blakeway during the Ford Championship Weekend and the Wall D?cor > Hardboards (Blockmounts) > Sports > Nascar NEXTEL Cup Championship. Located just outside of Miami, this 1.5-mile oval track started as an idea to help Miami-Dade County recover after Hurricane Andrew devastated the area in 1992. The track opened in 1995, with its inaugural Wall D?cor > Hardboards (Blockmounts) > Sports > Nascar NEXTEL cup race on November 14, 1999. The original configuration was a flat oval. Today, after several expansion and renovation projects, the current track has “graduated” 18 to 20-degree variable banked turns, and unique pastel colors that give it a distinctive “South Beach” look. Since it opened, the track has doubled its capacity to 70,000 seats.
