Homestead to Host 2026 NASCAR Championship Weekend

NASCAR announced that its Championship Weekend will return to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the 2026 season, taking place November 6-8 and marking the first finale at the South Florida track since 2019. This move ends Phoenix Raceway's six-year run as the host and introduces a new rotation where marquee venues and key markets, including Phoenix and other yet-to-be-named tracks, will host the championship race annually. All three national series—the Truck, Xfinity, and Cup Series—will crown their champions at Homestead in 2026. Homestead was selected due to its reputation for competitive racing and recent facility upgrades. Industry and fan response has been positive, with many viewing Homestead as a fan-favorite venue. The full 2026 schedule and details on future rotation hosts will be announced later.
