Sprint Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 weekend TV and radio schedule
By Ted Fleming
Here is your complete viewing and listening guide for the Sprint Cup season finale from practice through qualifying and the race on Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Other than the Daytona 500, this Sunday is the most anticipated day on the Sprint Cup calendar because it is the final race of the season where a champion will be crowned after the Ford EcoBoost 400. Will it be Kyle Busch snaring his second consecutive title or will Jimmie Johnson come away with the seventh of his career? Carl Edwards or Joey Logano might have something to say about that as each seek their first.
Johnson is looking to make history because he would become just the third Cup driver to reach seven championships tying him with Hall of Famers Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. It also marks the ten-year anniversary of Johnson’s first title, however, he has not won at this track over the course of his storied career.
It really doesn’t matter who wins the EcoBoost 400 because the highest finisher of the Championship Four will head into the winter wearing the crown.
