This weekend will be another busy one. Formula 1 will be in action in Mexico City, where big crowds are expected. Meanwhile, NASCAR returns to South Florida to race at Homestead-Miami Speedway as part of the Round of 8.
Where to Watch NASCAR This Week
Homestead-Miami Speedway hosted Championship Weekend for all three of NASCAR’s National-level series from 2002 to 2019. I personally covered the last five of those for Frontstretch. At Homestead today, you have worn pavement that dates back to when the track’s current configuration was created, good racing and a lot of skill is required to run well. In other words, paradise for someone like Kyle Larson.
This will be the last Homestead NASCAR race weekend in October. Next year, the race will move to March ahead of potential changes to the facility for 2026 and beyond.
The NASCAR Cup Series will be the headlining series once again. Teams will arrive, load in and work on Friday.
On-track activity starts with practice at 9:05 a.m. ET Saturday morning. The session will be streamed live on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports App. Qualifying will follow shortly afterwards.
Coverage of the Straight Talk Wireless 400 will begin with Countdown to Green at 2 p.m. ET Sunday afternoon on NBC. Race coverage will begin at 2:30 p.m. ET with the green flag at 2:40 p.m. ET.
The weather forecast for Sunday looks pretty good. The consensus appears to be partly cloudy skies with a high of 83 degrees with a low chance of showers, possibly early in the day.

Practice for the truck teams is scheduled for 2:35 p.m. ET Friday afternoon. Qualifying will follow shortly afterwards. Neither session will be televised. FOX Sports 2 will be televising thoroughbred racing during the sessions.
Coverage of the Baptist Health 200 will begin at Noon ET on FOX Sports 1 Saturday. The green flag is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. ET.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series has the second half of the doubleheader. They will also practice Friday starting at 4:05 p.m. ET. The session may be delayed slightly if truck qualifying goes long. The session will stream live on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports App. Qualifying will follow shortly afterwards.
