Trip guide · about 12 min from the hotel
Homestead-Miami Speedway
Homestead-Miami Speedway is about a 12-minute drive from Travelog Inn, making us one of the closest hotels to the track. On NASCAR and IMSA weekends the whole area books out — if you’re here for a race, reserve your room the day the tickets are bought.

The Speedway’s 1.5-mile oval with its steep variable banking is a driver favorite, hosting NASCAR race weekends, IMSA sports-car events, track days, and year-round motorsports programs. The property also runs everything from car club meets to test sessions, so there’s often something on even outside the marquee weekends.
For race fans our location works two ways: minutes from the track, but far enough from the gates that you’re not sleeping in the traffic pattern — and the Everglades or the Keys can fill the non-race day of your trip.
Tips from our front desk
- Book the hotel as soon as you have race tickets — race weekends sell out Florida City and Homestead completely.
- Leave for the track earlier than feels necessary; US-1 and Speedway Boulevard back up before green flag.
- Ear protection for kids is not optional at a NASCAR race — pick some up before the weekend.
- Ask the front desk about parking-pass logistics when you check in; we host race crews and regulars who know the drill.
