Homestead-Miami Speedway is back on the NASCAR Cup Series regular season schedule for the first time since 2021, and it is scheduled to host the 2025 season's sixth race this Sunday afternoon.
The Straight Talk Wireless 400 is scheduled to be a 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Homestead, Florida oval, and it is scheduled to feature 37 drivers following one change to the entry list since this past Sunday's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Since NASCAR most recently visited Homestead, the qualifying format has changed. The qualifying metric now consists of only two variables: the car owner's finish in the most recent race (70%), and the car owner's rank in the owner standings (30%).
Additionally, all drivers are now lined up in reverse metric order. There are no longer two evenly balanced groups, and there are therefore no more row-by-row designations. There is also no longer a second round. The results of the first round determine the full starting lineup, making the format a lot more straightforward.
A full breakdown of the new qualifying format can be found here.
