Get ready NASCAR fans, because a major shake-up is coming to the championship finale starting in 2026! The iconic Homestead-Miami Speedway is set to reclaim its status as the host for NASCAR’s championship weekend, a role it held from 2002 to 2019. This exciting news comes after overwhelming demands from drivers and fans to bring the finale back to the beloved track in Southern Florida.

But that’s not all – NASCAR has dropped a bombshell by announcing a groundbreaking decision to rotate the championship weekend among different tracks every year. This strategy aims to showcase the thrilling conclusion of the season at various marquee venues and key markets, providing greater exposure and excitement for fans across the country.

In a bold move, NASCAR is following in the footsteps of major sports championships by implementing this new rotating model. The upcoming 2026 season will see Homestead-Miami Speedway playing host to the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series for the championship showdown, promising a nostalgic yet exhilarating experience for both seasoned drivers and new talents in the sport.

Ben Kennedy, EVP, Chief Venue & Racing Innovation Officer, expressed his enthusiasm for the return to Homestead, emphasizing the track’s history of competitive racing and its significance in NASCAR’s legacy. The newly appointed track president, Guillermo Santa Cruz, highlighted the milestone of celebrating the track’s 30th season by bringing back the championship roots to South Florida, uniting veteran fan-favorite drivers with the brightest young stars of the sport.

The decision to rotate the championship weekend marks a significant shift in NASCAR’s approach to concluding the season, providing fresh challenges for competitors and offering fans the opportunity to witness championship racing in unique and diverse locations. Phoenix Raceway will continue to play a crucial role in the 2026 schedule, ensuring that the Round of 8 remains electrifying for both drivers and spectators.

As we eagerly anticipate the 2026 NASCAR Championship Weekend, the sport is gearing up for a thrilling new era of racing excellence, where tradition meets innovation on the track.
