Ryan Blaney claimed victory at the NASCAR Homestead race on 8 November with a late pass on Tyler Reddick, capping the 2026 season with four wins. Blaney led only seven laps at Homestead-Miami Speedway but overtook Reddick on the penultimate lap and held on to secure the triumph.
Kyle Larson secured the 2026 NASCAR Cup championship during the first stage of the race, making it the third title of his career. Larson finished 12th in the final standings at Homestead, enough to wrap up the season’s crown.
