Homestead-Miami Speedway Expects Sellout For NASCAR Finale

Homestead-Miami Speedway President Matt Becherer said that the 46,000-seat venue is expecting a sellout for Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400. The track has yet to announce a sellout for what will be Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s final race as a full-time driver in NASCAR's top series. The track's ticket site on Wednesday showed about 2,500 seats remained, but Becherer said that the municipality-owned, ISC-operated venue expects to have what would be its fourth consecutive sellout race by raceday. Attractions and activations this weekend include a Bellator MMA fight on Sunday.

Security will be ramped up and include metal-detecting wanding for incoming patrons, as has been the case at all ISC races since the Las Vegas mass shooting last month.
