The facility is considered by some to be one of the most beautiful in the country. In the spring of 1996, the CART series held its first race there. It opened in November 1995 with a NASCAR Busch Series race. Groundbreaking began August 24, 1993, less than a year after the hurricane. The speedway was constructed, with the efforts of promoter Ralph Sanchez, as part of a plan to help Homestead rebound after the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Andrew. These races were all sponsored by Ford, taking the names Ford EcoBoost 400, Ford EcoBoost 300, and Ford EcoBoost 200, respectively. It formerly played host to the Ford Championship Weekend, hosting the final races of the year in the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and the Camping World Truck Series.
