The NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway

The NASCAR Cup Series season ends in South Florida. After thirty-five races across the country, four drivers arrive at Homestead-Miami tied on points. The highest finisher among them on Sunday afternoon wins the championship.

The Stakes in Homestead

‍

Homestead-Miami Speedway features a 1.5-mile oval with progressive banking in the turns. The layout creates multiple racing lanes. Drivers can run right against the outside wall or search for grip down near the apron. Several conditions unique to the track can affect the race:

‍

• Tire wear plays a major role throughout long green-flag runs. Running against the outside wall rewards drivers with momentum, but touching the wall damages body panels and ruins track position.
• Pit crews work under intense pressure during late caution stops. A slow tire change ends a championship run.
• Track temperatures change quickly as afternoon turns to night. The surface cools down, altering vehicle handling and forcing crew chiefs to adjust wedge and tire pressures on the fly.

‍

Competition stays fierce from start to finish. While all forty drivers fight for the checkered flag, the four championship finalists are simultaneously locked in a duel for the season title.
