NASCAR championship weekend goes to Homestead in 2026

Its three series — the truck series, the Xfinity Series and the Cup Series — will see their seasons come to a close at Homestead from Nov. 6-8, 2026.

Its three series — the truck series, the Xfinity Series and the Cup Series — will see their seasons come to a close at Homestead from Nov. 6-8, 2026.

MIAMI — NASCAR’s championship weekend will return to Homestead-Miami Speedway next year, marking the first time since 2019 that the title-winners will be crowned at the South Florida track.

NASCAR made the announcement Tuesday. Its three series — the truck series, the Xfinity Series and the Cup Series — will see their seasons come to a close at Homestead from Nov. 6-8, 2026.

It isn’t a permanent return, though: NASCAR said that championship weekends are going to be on a rotation “to ensure that the season’s exciting conclusion is shared amongst NASCAR’s marquee venues and key markets.”

“As we move forward, the rotating model will provide new challenges for competitors as well as opportunities for unique venues to host our loyal fans at NASCAR Championship Weekend,” NASCAR executive vice president Ben Kennedy said.

Phoenix will play host to this year’s championship weekend again, and NASCAR said it will be part of the title-deciding-location rotation in the future as well.

Homestead-Miami was the championship weekend site from 2002 through 2019. There are three active drivers who were crowned NASCAR champions at Homestead — Kyle Busch in 2015 and 2019, Brad Keselowski in 2012 and Joey Logano in 2018. Logano has also won the title at Phoenix in two of the last three seasons, including last year.

And all seven of Jimmie Johnson’s NASCAR titles came at Homestead, which has renamed a tunnel in his honor to commemorate those championships.

NASCAR decided after the 2001 season to move its truck and Cup series races to one track, in order to create a season-ending championship celebration. Homestead-Miami was the original site, and it moved to Phoenix starting in 2020.

H. Moser & Cie. and Alpine Motorsports Just Dropped 2 New Streamliners

Just ahead of Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, H. Moser & Cie. has dropped two new watches that take design cues from Alpine Motorsports.

Just ahead of Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, H. Moser & Cie. has dropped two new watches that take design cues from Alpine Motorsports.

The watchmaker just added a new dynamic duo to the Streamliner family: a skeletonized mechanical chronograph called the Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition and the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition. The latter is the more surprising of the pair, given that it’s a smart watch. Both watches are being sold together as a set for a cool $70,000, with 200 pieces available, Hodinkee reported.

The 42.3 mm Streamliner Alpine Drivers Edition offers up a new skeletonized dial that shows off the AgenGraphe-based HMC 700 movement and the self-winding rotor, which is usually masked from view under the dial. Here, you get some of the same details you’d see on other Streamliner chronographs with the same movement: centralized minutes and seconds hands, for one. But, as you’d expect, there are plenty of nods to Alpine. The bridges are shaped like a “V” similar to triangulated suspensions; the dial, meanwhile, is home to a design meant to mimic the rim of the team’s A110 wheel. Flip the watch over, and you can get a closer look at that movement, which is designed to evoke images of a driver’s helmet. A blue PVD-coated stainless-steel case and a rubber strap round out the piece.

As for the Streamliner Alpine Mechanics Edition, it’s a first for the brand. The watch certainly has the tools for the fast-paced F1 environment it’s made for: a GMT function with a country selector, a split-seconds chronograph, a perpetual calendar, and a designated F1 mode that offers up countdown capabilities and can give you live team alerts. The timepiece does have a more traditional side, too, with a steel Streamliner case, a blue rubber strap, and a Funky Blue fumé dial. To bring the timepiece to life, Moser tapped Sequent to create the new model’s hybrid analogue-digital caliber, according to Hodinkee. As a result, you’re getting a 12-month “power reserve” in time-only mode or what the brand is called “six Grand Prix weekends” in connected mode.

And it sounds like we can expect more from H. Moser and Alpine Motorsports. The watchmaker said this just the first project to emerge from their partnership.

Moser, of course, has dropped other sports-related watches before. At last year’s Miami Grand Prix, the watchmaker debuted the Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, completed with a pink strap. And sports stars themselves have chosen to rock timepieces from the brand as of late. The Philadelphia Eagles’ running back Saquon Barkley donned an Endeavour Tourbillon Concept Vantablack at the Met Gala this year. Perhaps we’ll see some equally stylish athletes rocking the new Streamliners at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.

NASCAR driver’s unexpected appearance in completely unrelated cameo – Motorsport – Sports

Another NASCAR driver was featured on a recent show; this time, it was Natalie Decker Lemke.  Decker recently gave birth to a son in February 2025 with her husband Derek Lemke and took time away from the sport  to start a family.

Another NASCAR driver was featured on a recent show; this time, it was Natalie Decker Lemke. 

Decker recently gave birth to a son in February 2025 with her husband Derek Lemke and took time away from the sport  to start a family. She first announced her pregnancy in August 2024 on social media, and since then, has admitted her mental state is not where she would like it to be. 

Still, the NASCAR star was able to make fans laugh by way of her cameo on the Netflix adult comedy show ‘Big Mouth.’ In season eight, episode eight of the show, Decker has a handful of lines as she helps one of the main characters understand how life could be simplified without the use of external stimuli.

During her brief cameo, Decker also was spotted driving her Xfinity Bikini Zone Chevrolet while also a cartoonish version of herself was seen standing outside her car on the cover of ‘Car and Driver.’ On her website, Decker released a statement on her appearance in ‘Big Mouth.’

In particular, the star explained how being in the cartoon was something she could tick off her to-do list. “I’ve always wanted to be in a cartoon,” her statement read. “Never in a million years did I think it would happen – and definitely not in ‘Big Mouth’s’ final season!”

“I feel so guilty even saying this, but I’m so over being pregnant,” she said. “All my symptoms from my first trimester have come back. The nauseousness, the fatigue, the migraines, I could go on and on and on, but the biggest thing I’m struggling with is mentally. Just feeling good about myself and feeling like myself.”

She added: “I do not feel like myself at all, and I do not like looking at myself in the mirror. Don’t like the way I look, and I could talk for days about that. I know with pregnancy, you’re going to get swollen, but I didn’t know how swollen.

“My feet grew so much, I used to be a youth, child size 3, now I barely fit into a woman’s size 6. There is not one part of my body right now that is not swollen. It is so crazy. I did not expect that. I planned to do maternity photos by now… I just have not committed because I don’t like the way I look.”

A$AP Rocky and Puma presented their new capsule collection in New York City on Thursday, where a campaign video directed by the rapper and designer also debuted.

Available now, the collection — Rocky’s largest yet with Puma — puts a spin on classic streetwear with pops of colors, technical textures and hints of motorsport DNA. Three footwear styles are featured, including A$AP Rocky‘s preferred Puma sneakers, the Inhale and Mostro OG silhouettes, in addition to his new favorite style, the Mostro Gabbia.

Described by Puma as “layered with evolved armor,” the Mostro Gabbia Light applies modern tech to the spirit of the Puma archive. With its name coming from the Italian words for “caged monster,” the shoe features a removable cage — this feature also references Rocky’s skill for shifting between fashion and function.

The spiky and sculptural Mostro OG, offered in black, gray and silver, showcases reflective 3M details recalling headlights and streetlights. This same feature can be found on the Puma Inhale Reflective, which is designed with contoured lines and red branding; the look is rounded out by Flacko branding on the tongue.

The new collection between the athletic brand and the musician also features apparel and accessories, with options including T-shirts, a belt, a hat and more.

“I had the opportunity to dig into Puma’s archives and blend together the best of several shoes while adding my own lens and style,” A$AP Rocky said in a statement. “You have the sleekness of the Mostro OG, the innovation and technology of the Puma disc, and the cage around the shoe for added protection. All together this created the Mostro Gabbia aka the Caged Puma, an entirely new silhouette.”

A$AP Rocky was announced as the creative director of Puma’s F1 line in 2023, and they have since released several collections together, earning the Footwear News Achievement Award for Collaboration of the Year in 2024. Rocky also leads his own creative agency venture AWGE and is creative director at Ray-Ban.

NASCAR Truck Series Rackley Roofing 200 at Nashville

With some light sprinkles in the Lebanon, Tennessee-area, NASCAR has made the decision to scrap qualifying for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Nashville Superspeedway, ahead of Friday’s Rackley Roofing 200.

While the precipitation itself isn’t severe enough to warrant a multi-hour drying effort, NASCAR has made this decision to allow the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series teams the opportunity to have their on-track time prior to the drop of the green flag.

According to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rule Book, the starting lineup for Friday’s 200-mile contest will be set by NASCAR’s Performance Metric, which also determined the qualifying order every weekend.

Corey Heim, the winner of the most-recent NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event and the series points leader, will take advantage of a perfect metric score to earn the defacto “pole position” for Friday’s event, driving the No. 11 Toyota Tundra for TRICON Garage.

Kaden Honeycutt will start from the outside of the front row in the No. 45 Chevrolet for Niece Motorsports, while Layne Riggs (Front Row Motorsports), Grant Enfinger (CR7 Motorsports), and Corey Day (Spire Motorsports) will round out the top-five.

Bayley Currey (Niece Motorsports), Daniel Hemric (McAnally-Hilgemann Racing), Tyler Ankrum (McAnally-Hilgemann Racing), Jake Garcia (ThorSport Racing), and Rajah Caruth (Spire Motorsports) will round out the top-10 starters for the event.

With only 32 trucks on the entry list for Friday’s annual trip to ‘The Music City’, there were no drivers that failed to qualify for the event, which will begin at 8:00 PM ET. Broadcast coverage will be on FS1, with radio coverage on the NASCAR Radio Network, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
