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.

I’ll never this lore: “The season begins in Florida, ends in Florida.”

ah yes bring back the sad memories of the should've been 7 time champ jeff gordon

this was a fantastic tribute to the era, you nailed this one my friend.

The 2004 race was the first ever NASCAR race i ever attended. Seeing that tire come off in person is something I wont forget in a long time.

I will miss Homestead being the finale.

0:41 Damn... That photographer saw his life flash before his eyes with that wreck and fire :o 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.

As a Homestead native, it’s a bummer. And with a championship 4 that’s had the same 3 drivers in it for a few years now is also a bummer

This video was basically just a Carl Edwards having a championship just slip out of his hand tribute.

As a little kid, I always went to watch the races at Homestead-Miami We’ll miss you Homestead

This made me wanna cry. I’ve been to 6 homestead weekends making it my 7th Friday. End of an era and whoever decided to change it is stupid. ISM will never produce that kinda racing ever. So sad to see it go.

the 2020 schedule is good except for moving the finale from Homestead. I think it’s the best mile and a half on the schedule

Who ever decided ism is the championship race should be fired immediately

When BFM and Iceberg post at the same and u don’t know what to watch

Funny how since 2014 every champion just so happens to win the race. All part of the best finisher stipulation.

It will be strange not having Homestead as the final race, but it seems to be time for some change. I'm loving some of the changes to next season. Never been this excited for a new season to start before.

Thank you homestead for all the memories as the championship 4 finale

I remember when the last race was Atlanta. Yeah, when NASCAR was actually relevant and exciting.

NASCAR’s Worst Move: ISEM over Homestead

Also this weekend's NASCAR races for all 3 series will mark the last race of the 2010s ever, can't believe it flew by so fast.

Damn. This hit me in the feels more than I expected.

Homestead was good for the Finale but I would like to see a new type of Championship where they hold the Championship Race at a new Track every 2 years (and maybe even a Road course.)

I Hate Everything About You, eh? 2007, this one's for you!

I can't wait to meet all the NASCAR KZfaqrs at homestead!

All of these memories made me cry. WE MISS YOU HOMSTEAD!!!!!

Wow. That made me far more emotional than I anticipated. Thanks for making this video. I watched almost all of those moments happen live. Thanks for the memories Homestead.

The instrumental version of Three Days Grace's first hit single at the beginning grabbed me.

2013 was the only time I went to a NASCAR race, which was Homestead! The experience was PERFECT! It was so good, I never left the seat the whole race! The racing, the (real) championship battle, everything about it was perfect! Championship Weekend at Homestead will be missed... 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 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.

Great video man! So many memories. Thank you so much for this great video

Is that "I hate everything about you" in the background?

My first exposure to NASCAR was the battle for the win between Mark Martin and Greg Biffle in the 2005 race, I was three years old. I’m 17 now and still a huge NASCAR fan. If it weren’t for that great battle between Biffle and Mark, Homestead, and my dad channel surfing, I would’ve never have become a NASCAR fan

Great video package of all the years you it hosted for the NASCAR Finale from 2002-2019 thank you Homestead

Whoever chose ISM as the finale deserves to be slapped full force

I was watching it yesterday while eating dinner and decided to listen to it again while working. Just now I've noticed the background song. Great choice by the way, really liking the channel, keep up the great work!

"YEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHH BABY WE'RE GOING TO HOOOOMMMEESTEEAD" - Jeff Gordon in his final season

Ironically, They've swapped the Coke Zero 400 with the Brickyard 400. The last time Daytona was run late in the year was back in the 1990's, but that was due to the Wildfires.

As a big Edwards fan, this hurt me on the inside so many times

Thanks for the memories Homestead I was a honor to grow up watching these battles

It's a shame we won't have Bestwick to call the last Homestead finale 😔

Jimmy Johnson is the Michael Jordan of NASCAR. A true competitor AND decent, humble person deserving of all he has accomplished. I hope he gets his 8th championship in his final year of 2020 and sets the bar for decades to come. Then maybe Rowdy can make his effort at unseating Jimmy. :)

Goodbye Homestead you will always be the best Championship race in my book.I'll miss you.

Homestead itself is an end of an era. Shame the best finish was a true end of an era win the old points and Bobby Labonte's last win and the end of the Winston Era

Had me chocked up there at the end. Great vid bro.

Homestead 2011 was my favorite Nascar race of all time. Gave me memories for a lifetime. Gonna miss this track as the finale

I was born and raised in homestead fl so this track means the world to me

As a Tony Stewart fan, the way that 2011 championship ended for Carl Edwards was heartbreaking. He deserved at least to win a championship. Too many times he was so close yet so far.

That's the end of an era. An era I wish we were still in.😔

My son was sitting behind you last night at the Truck race. Well I was at many of these races with my 2 boys since 2002. We had such a blast and we will miss this race. We are attending the 2020 Homestead race just to see how it feels.

Greg Biffle had Homestead figured out.

Some of the most beautiful moments from 3 eras of cars over the years but only one thing will remain :The legendary moments

Congrats on 17K subs

Wow the emotional impact was very strong well done @blackflagsmatter

I was at one of those finale races. Such a great track to end the series with!

The copy of old Atlanta will be missed as the finale

Thanks for the memories (we will never forget)

This video is giving me chills for Sunday

That Gordon clip and Stewart clip made me cry, and I am not afraid to admit it. It's truly an end of an era. Here's to hoping it's an awesome race on Sunday

10:02 IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING

I’m gonna miss Homestead as the finale so much. I hope this Sunday’s Race is one for the record books.

Man when you put them all together you realize how many championships Edwards could've won.

Being from the UK and only discovering the sport in 2014, I have seen the last 5 races here and its honestly in my top 3 for tracks, I will be sad to lose the tradition of ending the year here that I was getting accustomed too!

End of An Area Which Kyle Larson spoils the final four party since 2014.

What A Great Memories Since 2002

Great video man! Well done. +1

I’d love to see you talk more about the **real** original Homestead, which was a 1.5 Indy clone quad-oval.

Honestly about to cry this is so meaningful to somebody who has always had homestead as a finally, let's make this one great

This hit real hard in the feels

Glad to be here for the last one

Yeah The one thing I wish they keep, is The finale on the start of Thanksgiving break

homestead was an iconic race and ill remember my visit as if it was yesterday

As someone who lives in Miami, this put me into tears 😢 Thankfully I bought tickets for the final championship race here.

Its like NASCAR is trying to make the worst decisions they can possibly make

Poor Mark Martin. Incredible driver, just always a bridesmaid when it comes to the championship and Daytona 500

I’m gonna miss homestead being the finale

Been to every championship since 2007 been a blast gonna be tough watching it as the final race one last time.

0:40 that guy along the fence got fried 😳

2014 was the last year we ever seen that package and I really miss the speed and hard close racing for the win.

I’ve seen all the races there. I remember when the season ended in Atlanta

I live in homestead and I went to homestead Miami speedway for a long time and hearing this sucks :(

I want to do montage 1992 Hooters 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway greatest race in NASCAR history

This video gave me chills...

One of my favorite memories is Jason Leffler getting his first top 10 driving for Chip Ganassi in the #01 lol

Wow!!! This gave me chills. Not gonna lie

Favorite Homestead memories: 1. 2012 and 2017 Make it two, Marty!! ✌ 2. 2011

This video actually made me cry.

When you realize that most the guys you grew up watching are retired and you no longer recognize the field

Who’s chopping all these damn onions 😭😭😭😭

God idk why but that started to bring tears, I love homestead so much, and I hate to see it not be the championship race anymore

That's a pretty cool shot of Carl Edwards back-flipping while Jimmie is doing his burnouts of winning the championship and providing smoke for Carl's backflips.

I will miss Homestead being the season finale, lots of fun memories. 2011 was an amazing championship battle.

As a #48 fan, Homestead is quite special. I have read many incredible comments on here about Homestead. This track is unique and amazing.

The 2003 race though was an oddity because IIRC Kenseth had locked up the title at Rockingham

I got tears when junior went down pit road like his dad in daytona

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

Hopefully they go back and have the final race at Atlanta like they did in the 90’s.

dang, I hate seeing that clip of Jeff getting out after his final race and being that close to a 5th cup...that tugs on the heart of a 24 fan

Damn I went yesterday on the 16th as Reddick became the xfinity series champ, it sucks so bad the finale will not be in homestead anymore, as a local this blows😕

By chance, I happened to be there at the track in 2019 to see Joey win as my school was holding a volunteer event at the track during the race. I ended up being able to get a video of the Finale burnout from Joey.

Homestead is gorgeous its such a wonderful track why tale the finale away from such a gorgeous venue 😭
