Homestead-Miami Speedway will once again host Fast Lane Friday events at the speedway this year.
“Whether you’re participating in our Fast Lane Friday events or simply taking in all the racing action, this is the perfect opportunity to get a taste of what Homestead-Miami Speedway has to offer,” said Homestead-Miami Speedway president Guillermo Santa Cruz.
“We give car enthusiasts the chance to drag race against each other in a safe space. Fast Lane Friday delivers high thrills while opening the door for new fans and you’ll even get a sneak peek of various track preparations happening with the Straight Talk Wireless 400 race weekend right around the corner.”
Fast Lane Friday is open to all car enthusiasts, ages 18 and older, with a valid driver’s license and allows drivers the opportunity to race their cars against other street-legal cars on the drag strip.
To compete in Fast Lane Friday as a driver, tickets are priced at $30. If you’re interested in coming to watch as a fan, tickets cost $20 while kids 12 and under are free to watch the event at the speedway.
A Fast Lane Membership also is available for purchase starting at $99. Enjoy all the perks including 20 percent off all Fast Lane Friday admissions in 2025, 20 percent off Homestead-Miami Speedway owned events in 2025, 20 percent off single day race tickets for the March NASCAR race weekend and a $20 concessions voucher.
