The 2024 NASCAR season is heading into the finale at Phoenix, Arizona and it has yet again opened the discussions about changing championship race track. Since it was changed from Homestead Miami few years ago, many in the racing community has been asking for the track to be replaced as the final race product often didn’t match expectations.
2014 Cup series champion Kevin Harvick has a solution to the issues that might not hurt all the fan bases in the respective track. He pointed out that NASCAR should consider cycling the championship race between Phoenix and Homestead. His opinion mostly had to do with the fact that he wants Homestead’s return as the finale.
I hope at some point we start cycling these championship races of Phoenix to Homestead, even if it’s just those two racetracks. What a great cycle of events that we could go back and forth on to have two championship tracks. I really hope that we get back to that because I think that Homestead is such a unique place.
Kevin Harvick said via Happy Hour podcast.
He further talked about the potential of adding one more track to the cycle, namely the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which is known for hosting impressive races. He asserted that Vegas has the right November climate and great atmosphere to be the championship finale race that all the fans will appreciate.
If you had three, do you need more than three in that rotation? If you had Las Vegas, Phoenix, Homestead that rotated that championship race, every three years you went to those locations…You want the weather to be good, but I’d love to see Las Vegas Motor Speedway have a championship race. What a great city to be able to host a championship race.
