Race Tracks Near Miami
Miami's motorsport scene is compact but high-profile: nearly everything within an easy drive sits inside a single Homestead-to-Miami Gardens corridor rather than spread across the state. Homestead-Miami Speedway anchors the south side with a 1.5-mile oval hosting the season-ending NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Truck weekend, plus a road course, a drag strip and the AMR Motorplex karting facility all on the same 600-acre campus. Downtown, the Miami International Autodrome hosts the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix on a purpose-built street circuit around Hard Rock Stadium. Beyond that, options thin out fast — Sebring, Orlando and Daytona are all just outside a comfortable two-hour radius. Palm Beach International Raceway, about seventy minutes north, is the closest road course-and-drag-strip combo still standing, while South Florida's deeper motorsport roots — the 1950s Fulford-Miami board speedway and the 2015-16 Formula E street race on Biscayne Bay — are historical footnotes today.

Drivers wanting a full road-course day typically travel to Palm Beach International Raceway (about 70 minutes) or further to Sebring, outside this page's radius.
Frequently asked questions
What is the closest race track to Miami?+
The Miami International Autodrome street circuit in Miami Gardens and Homestead-Miami Speedway are both within about 25-35 minutes of downtown, the closest active motorsport venues.
Does Miami host a Formula 1 race?+
Yes — the Miami Grand Prix runs each spring on the Miami International Autodrome, a temporary street circuit built around Hard Rock Stadium.
Are Gulfstream Park or Hialeah Park covered in this guide?+
No. Gulfstream Park and Hialeah Park are thoroughbred horse racing tracks, not motorsport venues, so they're outside the scope of this guide.
Why are there so few race tracks near Miami compared to other big cities?+
South Florida's motorsport venues cluster tightly around the Homestead-to-Miami Gardens corridor; the next tier of tracks — Palm Beach International Raceway, Sebring and the Orlando/Daytona cluster — sit close to or just past a two-hour drive.
Where can I go karting near Miami?+
AMR Motorplex, on the Homestead-Miami Speedway campus about 35 minutes south of downtown, is South Florida's largest outdoor karting facility with both rental and owner-driver circuits.
Is Sebring International Raceway a reasonable day trip from Miami?+
It's borderline — Sebring is roughly two and a half hours from Miami via US-27, just outside a comfortable two-hour radius, so it isn't included on this page.
