NASCAR’s championship weekend is coming back to South Florida next year. In a statement this week, NASCAR announced its three series races will take place in November 2026, at the Homestead-Miami Speedway track.

It’ll be the first time since 2019 the title winners are crowned at the South Florida speedway.
