NASCAR will return to Homestead-Miami Speedway the weekend of June 13-14, it was announced today. Over the course of the two days, NASCAR will run four races across all three of its national series, highlighted by the NASCAR Cup Series Dixie Vodka 400 the afternoon of Sunday, June 14 to cap off the quartet of events. The weekend slate will also consist of a pair of NASCAR Xfinity Series Races (Saturday & Sunday), as well as a NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race (Saturday).
The additional Xfinity Series event is a realigned race that was originally scheduled for June 13 at Iowa Speedway.

Homestead-Miami Speedway’s 2020 NASCAR weekend was originally scheduled to be run March 20-22.
“We are excited that NASCAR is back up and running and that we have the chance to host four races in one weekend,” said Homestead-Miami Speedway President Al Garcia. “Commemorating our 25th anniversary in 2020, we certainly would have liked our fans to be able to join us for this milestone, but we hope they are able to enjoy four outstanding races from the comfort and safety of their homes. We view this as a tremendous opportunity to show off the unbridled beauty of our track and Miami to a national audience, as sports fans across the country are eager to watch live events once again. We look forward to playing an integral role in the return of professional sports to South Florida.”
