For the first time since February 2021, Homestead-Miami Speedway is back on the NASCAR Cup Series regular season schedule, with Sunday's Straight Talk Wireless 400 being the sixth race on the calendar.
This race is scheduled to be a 267-lap race around the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) Homestead, Florida oval. Last year's race, which was contested in October as a part of the round of 8 of the playoffs, was won by 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick.
Homestead hosted the Championship 4 title decider up until 2019. It was moved to March for the 2020 season, but it ended up being pushed back to June after a slew of schedule changes caused by pandemic-related restrictions. It was shifted back to late February the following year before making its playoff return to the round of 8, where it remained until last year, in 2022.
Hendrick Motorsports' Alex Bowman is set to start Sunday's race from the pole position following Saturday afternoon's qualifying session. Wood Brothers Racing's Josh Berry is set to join him on the front row after winning at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last Sunday.
