Next weekend, the professional stock car racing series will make its return to South Florida. And the NASCAR’s annual race at Homestead-Miami Speedway could feature something most races across the world have not seen lately.

According to Sports Business Journal, the series will host a small number of fans in the next week’s race. And most probably the spectator list will include a small lot of military personnel. Additionally, they will be allowed inside to watch the races taking place on June 13 and 14. And it will include the Dixie Vodka 400 Cup Series race.

Additionally, the Dixie Vodka 400 was to be held on March 21 in the Miami-Homestead race track without fans. However, officials decided to postpone the race instead of running a race without fans on the said date.
