DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR released its 2027 schedule Wednesday, and it begins at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 21 and wraps up back in the Sunshine State at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
The exhibition Clash will be held at Daytona the weekend before the Daytona 500.
Homestead hosted NASCAR’s championship weekend from 2002 to 2019 before welcoming the season finale back in 2026. The venue is currently undergoing a $20 million capital investment project that will transform the track and enhance race-day experiences for fans, partners and industry stakeholders.
NASCAR’s All-Star race will be held at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 23, and the season-ending NASCAR championship weekend will return to Homestead-Miami Speedway in mid-November for the second year in a row.
Another race will be run at Naval Base Coronado on Aug. 1 to recognize the men and women who serve. NASCAR and the Department of Defense also unveiled a multiyear plan to host events beyond Coronado. In 2028, they intend to take the military-base street race to a different U.S. military installation.
Among the other highlights are a return to San Diego, Calif., for the Cup and O’Reilly Auto Parks series.
Dover Motor Speedway returns to a Cup Series points-race date May 16 after hosting the All-Star race; the Southern 500 on Sept. 5 at Darlington Raceway will serve as the final regular-season race in the Cup Series, setting the field for the Chase; and Pocono Raceway will feature all three national series during its race weekend in June.
