Smith blasts NASCAR for ending season at Homestead

Speedway Motorsports Inc. owner Bruton Smith mocked the France family for ending the NASCAR season in 3rd world Homestead, Florida because it is one of their family owned tracks. Yes, ISC owns it officially, but the France family owns most of the shares.

Smith likened Homestead Miami Speedway to "North Cuba," arguing it is not the "proper place" for the Sprint Cup series to end the Chase for the championship.

The longtime track owner says he'd prefer NASCAR to run its final Cup race at SMI-owned Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Smith said he expects IndyCar to end the 2011 season at the 1.5-mile oval next October.
