Homestead to upgrade venue ahead of 2026 finale, but won't 'touch the track'

On Tuesday, NASCAR announced plans to put the season finale back at Homestead-Miami Speedway for 2026 as they implement a rotating finale moving forward. Having already hosted their lone Cup race on the 2025 schedule, the track has plenty of time to prepare before NASCAR returns in November of 2026.

Track president Guillermo Santa Cruz confirmed that changes are coming but they are "mostly cosmetic." He was also sure to make it clear that the track surface itself will remain as-in. "We're not going to touch the track itself. The track is in excellent condition. It yields some of the best racing anywhere. For the most part that will be left alone."
