NASCAR is bringing Championship Weekend back to Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2026.

As part of the sanctioning body’s new rotating championship model, which will see the season-finale move between some of NASCAR’s marquee venues and key markets on a year-to-year basis, the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will crown their champion in Homestead, Florida from November 6-8, 2026.

Richard Childress Racing (RCR) will be adding a pair of NASCAR Cup Series events to its schedule for the No. 33 Chevrolet, with NASCAR Xfinity Series full-timer Jesse Love behind the wheel.

The Menlo Park, California-native will compete in Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, before returning to the seat of RCR’s third, part-time entry at Richmond Raceway in August.

This weekend at Kansas, a pair of open entries will be tackling the 400-mile NASCAR Cup Series event, with a pair of up-and-coming racers looking to make their names known at NASCAR’s top level: Jesse Love (33) and Corey Heim (67).
