Drivers not happy with returning to Miami

Last season, the race at the Homestead-Miami 1.5 mile speedway was one most would like to forget. After having several bad crashes in the AAPT race the day before, AERS officials made no changes and kept the race the following day the same, and the race had some issues because of it.

There were massive hits, multicar pileups and injured drivers. It seemed as if there was a yellow every other lap, and it ruined a lot of the excitement from the fans.

Now, one year later, the AERS returns, with no safety cutdowns or rules being enforced differently from the 2014 running. Drivers were verbally upset, including polesitter Mikael Carter. "Well I just feel like someone is gonna get killed out there this weekend, with how fast we're running and how tight the racing is. It's gonna be a race you'll have to have an extra eye out for, you don't know what's gonna happen." Jalen Scransen echoed Carter's statement, "I don't know what's going to happen out there, but what I do know is that it's going to be one of those races that fans will be on the edges of their seats for, and I don't think it's for good reason, either."

The Lucas Oil 200 marks the 5th time the AMP Energy Racing Series has visited the 1.5 mile high banks of Homestead-Miami, last year, Jason Miller won his first career race there, he qualified for this weeks race and will start 25th. In last year's event, only two cars who started in the top 10 finished there.

Prediction to win: Will Legge. He's due.
