    Homestead was literally built for the championship. Perfect weather, season ends in Florida where it began, and track is modeled after old Atlanta, which for years hosted the season finale race before Homestead took over. Thanks for the memories, lets have one last good run.

    Going back to the video, I'm sad to see Homestead be replaced as the finale track. It's such a versatile track that's gonna likely work well with this package and works as a good driver's track while ISM is so aero-dependent track that works perfectly fine for the final cutoff race.
    Homestead also just has that grandiose vibe to it that fits the finale so well. The race starting in the day time and the drivers racing into the sunset early on, as the season races into the sunset, and slowly sinking into darkness until you get to the end when the lights come on and the crowd is lively and active as they see the crowning of a Cup champion for the year. It all just feels right and is the right stage for the NASCAR finale.
    I hope this leads to the finale being rotated and Homestead getting the finale again in the future but it looks unlikely. The ISM money is really boosting the track, as exemplified by the recent renovations and getting moved to the finale, which is likely going to keep ISM as the finale track.
    I'm glad you made this video too. The track has seen a lot of great, historic moments and will be missed as the finale track.

      The decision to go to Phoenix is merely a test. They're trying something new, and since it's rumored that the championship race will be in Las Vegas in 2021 due to the awards banquet being there, it makes sense to try a west coast track. Of the tracks closest to Vegas that NASCAR goes to, Phoenix/ISM Raceway is the closest to a short track-- the most popular form of racing amongst NASCAR fans.

    I wonder how much they'll drop the price of Homestead tickets since it'll be on the same day as the Sebring Super Weekend. I'll miss Homestead as the finale, but it's about time for another track to host the final race to change things up. Especially since next season the playoffs will be more focused around short tracks. Though I hope moving the finale to ISM raceway will create some urgency and make drivers drive more aggressively despite the high downforce package which has hurt the short track racing.

    • @TheNewChevyRoll48
      @TheNewChevyRoll48 5 лет назад

      @ The low downforce didn't get bad til teams relied more on side force than downforce. The current package was pretty good w/intermediates and near (if not) perfect on superspeedways. The only tracks they'll need to clip them to about half its size is short tracks, road courses, & Indy.

    For the people that are very concerned about Phoenix as a championship race next year, I do not think it will be a permanent track to host the season finale. I heard something on Race Hub about having various tracks each season as Championship Weekend back in April. Remember, 2021 will change big time, so who knows. I am not sure if it's 100% true, but who knows what can happen.

    I may be the only Nascar fan in the country that's excited about the championship coming to Phoenix. Not for nostalgia's sake, but because I don't have to travel across the entire country to see it lol

    I went to Homestead in 2013 to see Juan's last full season start and Johnson's 6th championship, and I was living in another country at the time (thanks mom)
    I know live near ISM Raceway, and unless some modifications to either the tracks or cars are made to make the racing better, I might as well not attend

    i'm happy the race is being moved from miami-homestead. there's too many 1.5 mile tracks on the circuit as it is. they should change or reconfigure those stupid plate tracks too. throw the plates away and put a chicane in the back straightaway. more road courses like road america and run the boot section at watkins glenn.

  • @descent815
    @descent815 3 года назад +3

    Im from homestead and one of the biggest problem with this race is its always 2-3 cars racing for the win. Hell Johnson one year had to finish better then 11 to win the championship. That sucks and makes for shitty racing. I think there are way better tracks to a championship weekend then Homestead.

  • @nascarfanatic2425
    @nascarfanatic2425 5 лет назад +1

    I'm honestly glad that Homestead isn't going to host the season finale next year for 2 major reasons: the first is because ever since Homestead started hosting the season finale, Jeff Gordon-- my favorite driver of all time-- never saw the likes of a championship again. The 2nd is pretty simple: NASCAR needs to try something new.

    I live in the Phoenix area, so I'm biased because it's close now. I also think the racing will suck unless they spray the "track-bite" another groove lower. But, the best thing about ISM hosting the championship is....Phoenix is a world class city where everything is new. And there's hardly any hillbillies here. Plus you won't have to deal with Florida. You're welcome.
