MONDAY/Labor Day: Fans FREE to see IndyCar Stars at Homestead-Miami Speedway

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sept. 1, 2010

MONDAY: IndyCar Stars at Homestead-Miami; Fans FREE to Attend 
Reigning Champion among four testing for Oct. 2 IndyCar Championship in Miami 

MIAMI—Homestead-Miami Speedway will host IndyCar Series Testing in advance of the 2010 NextEra Energy Indy Championships Weekend, Oct. 1-2, at THE Championship Track. Testing is THIS MONDAY, Labor Day, Sept. 6th, and fans are welcome to watch drivers take to the 1.5-mile, variable-banked oval for FREE from 1 pm to 9 pm from both infield and grandstand seats.

Drivers scheduled to attend include reigning-Champion Dario Franchitti, two-time Champion Scott Dixon, Ryan Briscoe—who fell 12 points shy of the 2009 title—and Will Power, who missed last year’s Championship in Miami while recovering from a career-threatening back injury. In a remarkable comeback, Power enters the season’s final stretch—four consecutive oval tracks culminating at Homestead-Miami—as the leader in the 2010 IndyCar points standings.

Last year’s IndyCar title was decided in the Championship finale in Miami when Franchitti held off Briscoe and Dixon in the final 10 laps to win his second IndyCar title. Tickets to see the 2010 IndyCar Champions crowned Oct. 2 at Homestead-Miami Speedway start at $30 and are available by calling (866) 409-RACE or by logging on to THEChampionshipTrack.com.
