Hurricane Matthew relief at Homestead Miami Speedway’s Fast-Lane Friday

Following the devastation left behind by Hurricane Matthew, Homestead-Miami Speedway, in partnership with Christ Fellowship Church, will be collecting donations in support of those impacted by the storm at Fast Lane Friday presented by The Ticket Clinic this Friday, October 14. In addition to donating to the cause, car enthusiasts and guests will have the opportunity to enter their street-legal car to compete on the Speedway’s 1/8-mile drag strip from 6 p.m. to midnight.

Donations will be accepted starting at 5 p.m. in the infield of Homestead-Miami Speedway. Those making donations from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. will have the opportunity to take a paced lap around the Speedway’s 1.5-mile oval. Contributions can be made to the Hurricane Relief at Homestead-Miami Speedway without having to enter into Fast Lane Friday.
