Grand Am is testing at Homestead because it's an ISC track (ISC majority stock holder Jim France is Grand Am's primary owner), and Daytona is being resurfaced. Goodyear asked NASCAR for a tire test there next month, but ISC says that might not happen because of the repaving job.
If the resurfacing job likely won't be done in the first half or December, it seems reasonable that Grand Am wouldn't test at a track that's part dirt, part old nasty asphalt and part new pavement.
