Play ball? Marlins Park turned into a speedway as Race of Champions comes to Miami

Baseball won’t return to Marlins Park until the spring, and by looking at the place now, one would question if the game is actually played there.

The domed ballpark, at least for the next few days, has been transformed into a race track.

Although horses would be better suited to the grass outfield, racing cars will zip around a tight track squeezed into the friendly confines of Little Havana as the Race of Champions has taken over.

“This is a unique experience for sure,” said 2015 NASCAR Cup champ Kyle Busch, one of the drivers in this collection of top pilots from various top-end series such as NASCAR, IndyCar and Formula 1 who will compete in the different races.
