Homestead Miami is a beloved racetrack for Dale Jr. The track had the privilege of hosting the NASCAR season finale from 2002 to 2019, when it was replaced by Phoenix. The races held at Homestead Miami have been some of the most exciting and memorable in the sport’s history. Fans have eagerly awaited the return of the finale to Miami, as the races in Phoenix have not lived up to expectations.
However, there is shocking news for fans in the upcoming 2025 season. Reports suggest that Miami will not only lose its playoff date, but also lose the chance to host the finale next year. This decision is being made to give other tracks the opportunity to host playoff races and provide them with the experience.
Although Miami will have to endure an unfavorable race date for a while, it is expected to regain its status as the site of the season finale in the future. However, fans will have to be patient as NASCAR explores other track options.

He believes the track deserves to have at least one playoff race, considering its history as the site of the season finale. Despite his disappointment, Junior remains hopeful for the future of Homestead, which holds a special place in his heart. It will be interesting to see how things unfold for the track and its passionate fan base.
