Homestead Miami Speedway
“The big difference at Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure is that you learn how to draft, slingshot past and leave the competition-just as Jarrett and his buddies do 36 weeks a year."

Anyone who has always longed to drive on a state-of-the-art racetrack will find
Homestead Miami Speedway a great racetrack to race on. It offers gradual banking
and multiple racing lanes, allowing the driver to run low, middle, or high - wherever
the car handles best - but it is also a challenging track that demands the driver’s
attention. The racetrack’s banking increases to a maximum of 20° in the turns,
using an innovative variable-degree banking system that increases the degree of
banking progressively from the bottom to the top of each turn. At each turn’s
midpoint, there is 18° banking at the bottom, 19° in the middle, and 20° at
the top. This variable banking system is designed to create three competitive
racing grooves around the track. The system allows drivers to find a variety
of places where they can make their cars work.
