Homestead-Miami Speedway runs Give Back at the Track on Saturday, September 12, from 10 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon. For a donation of $50 per car, drivers take six laps of the famous 1.5 mile oval in their own street legal car, with passengers welcome and the pace kept safe and calm. It is the rare chance to feel the banking of NASCAR's track without a race license.

A donation that runs

The day works because the track has a generous habit: the fees collected during Give Back at the Track go to the speedway's charitable program, structured as a donor advised fund under the NASCAR Foundation. Each family that arrives pays for the laps and leaves knowing the same asphalt that hosts race season is supporting something that goes beyond the races.

What to know before you go

The cars must be street legal, the drivers follow the track's safety briefing, and the pace is a light tour rather than a speed test, which is exactly why families and first timers enjoy it. The morning stays short so the rest of the weekend remains free. Bring a full tank, a working phone, and the whole car of passengers.
