Blaney wins Homestead

Ryan Blaney won the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He beat Tyler Reddick by 0.314 seconds and earned his fourth victory of the 2026 season. The win also gave Blaney the 21st Cup Series victory of his career. He held off Reddick to take the win. William Byron took third, Christopher Bell finished fourth and Bubba Wallace placed fifth, while Denny Hamlin came home sixth. Blaney left with the checkered flag after a finish that came down to less than a third of a second.

Larson clinches title

Kyle Larson left Homestead-Miami Speedway as the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series champion and became a three-time Cup champion. He did not need the race win to claim the title. He finished 12th and still secured the championship. Larson’s title adds another chapter to his career, and this championship gives him a third Cup crown. Larson’s 12th-place finish was enough to close the deal and put the final stamp on his season-long effort.

Final caution shapes finish

The race had 18 lead changes and three cautions, and all 267 laps were completed. The final caution came with 15 laps remaining after Noah Gragson contacted Daniel Suarez’s left rear, sending Suarez into a spin. Suarez recovered and still finished eighth, while Gragson ended up ninth. Blaney took the race win, Larson took the title and Homestead closed the season with a finish that stayed competitive until the final laps.
