Since 2002, NASCAR's top three racing series have closed their season with a weekend designed to crown each series' champion, officially known as NASCAR Championship Weekend.[1]
From 2002 until 2019, the final race weekend of the season was run at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Ford Motor Company was the title sponsor for all three races during this period, and the weekend itself was also known as Ford Championship Weekend. Since 2020, the championship races have been held at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.[2]
With the removal of Homestead from the final race weekend, some drivers have stated that the championship races should rotate between tracks every year instead of being held at one particular facility, similar to the Super Bowl.[3]
