Homestead-Miami Speedway

HMS FANatics to provide feedback in order to improve guests’ experience while at the track 

Miami – Fans come first at Homestead-Miami Speedway. With that mantra in mind, the speedway is recruiting race fans and community partners to become members of the track’s first-ever fan advisory network, which will be known as HMS FANatics. This group is being organized in order for track operators to garner suggestions and ideas for improving the fan experience at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

“We have several stakeholders in this business, but none is more important than our fans,” said Homestead-Miami Speedway President Matthew Becherer. “Their investment is both financial and emotional.  By creating this regular dialogue with a cross-section of fans, we have every expectation of improving an already top-notch guest experience for every individual that visits our facility.”

FANatics members will serve rotating one-year terms that will include both a NASCAR and GRAND-AM event. Members will participate in quarterly meetings and conference calls.  Additionally, members will have exclusive access to an online message board and Facebook page.
