There is growing speculation that NASCAR could move its season-ending championship event to the Homestead-Miami Speedway starting in 2026. Sources close to the situation have hinted that the governing body is exploring options to return the high-stakes race to the Florida track, which hosted the finale from 1999 to 2020 before it was replaced by Phoenix Raceway.
NASCAR’s decision to move the championship race is reportedly driven by a desire to bring a fresh, fan-friendly atmosphere to the event. Homestead-Miami Speedway, known for its unique, high-banked turns and exciting race action, has long been a fan favorite and would mark a return to the East Coast for the sport’s biggest race of the season. The switch could also be an effort to diversify the championship weekend and bring a more competitive edge to the finale, as the track offers a variety of challenges for drivers.
Though the official announcement has not been made, sources suggest that NASCAR executives are already in talks with Homestead officials about logistics, making 2026 the target date for this possible shift. If confirmed, the change would mark a significant turning point for NASCAR’s future in championship racing.
