The Stage is Set
After months of intense competition, close finishes, and dramatic moments, it all comes down to this final showdown on Sunday, March 16th. Homestead-Miami’s unique 1.5-mile oval, with its progressive banking and multiple racing lines, provides the perfect backdrop for this championship-deciding event.

The green flag for the main event drops at 9:25 PM, launching competitors into what promises to be an intense 1 hour and 55 minutes of racing action.
