Miami, FL, Thursday, May 8th, 2025. The 2026 NASCAR season will end in South Florida, with stock car racing’s Championship Weekend returning to Homestead-Miami Speedway next year. It’ll be the first time since 2019 that the title winners will be crowned there and will start a rotation where NASCAR will move its final weekend around various tracks.
How that’ll work in 2027 and beyond remains unclear., but in 2026, Homestead is the place.
“I like that we move it around,” said reigning NASCAR champion Joey Logano, who won the crown last fall at Phoenix — this year’s title-deciding spot as well — and the first of his three titles at Homestead-Miami in 2018. “That was one of the things that I always thought would be a great idea if we were able to pull it off, right? The Super Bowl doesn’t stay in the same place every year. Why should our Super Bowl, our championship race, stay in same place every year?”
NASCAR made the announcement Tuesday, and it was not exactly a stunner. (“I’m sure everyone was surprised to see this coming,” Logano said, smiling.) Its three series — the truck series, the Xfinity Series and the Cup Series — will see their seasons come to a close at Homestead from Nov. 6-8, 2026.
