Homestead always means the end of another long NASCAR season, but this race has more going on than most, and you’ll want to make sure you’re watching live.
The Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway is the end of the road for Dale Earnhardt Jr. It’s also possibly the last time we’ll see Matt Kenseth in a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series car and the penultimate top series start for Danica Patrick.
And oh, by the way, there’s also a championship on the line for four other drivers.
We kid slightly, as NASCAR has done a good job focusing its promotion of the Ford EcoBoost 400 on the title on the line. Martin Truex Jr., the most dominant driver this year more often than not, is looking for his first championship. Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski stand in his way and would love to be multi-time winners. All four men start inside the top 10, so every pass and pit stop will be critical.
On the other end of the spectrum, Earnhardt Jr. really is saying goodbye to the Cup Series (he’ll race a few more times in the XFINITY Series in 2018 thanks to sponsor obligations), but he’ll make his final start from the rear of the field. Kenseth just won last week and so is leaving the sport on a high note, however reluctantly, and Patrick will pop back up next year for the Daytona 500 before she calls it quits.
