MIAMI (CBS4) – Hundreds of people are expected to walk the track near Miami where NASCAR champions race as part of a fundraiser for the organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Saturday's walk at Homestead-Miami Speedway will raise funds for the national organization known as MADD and will help supply the community with alcohol education programs for youth and adults, victim advocacy and the other DUI prevention programs.

The 5K (just over 3 miles) walk or run will take place from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
