The NASCAR Cup Series returned to Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday (Nov 8.) for the highly anticipated return of the championship race to South Beach. Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin entered Sunday with a chance to win, and by the end of stage one, Larson clinched his third Cup Series championship.
Stock Car Scoop host Eric Schneck breaks down the running of Sunday’s championship race, including Larson adding to his legacy, Noah Gragson vs Daniel Suarez and Ryan Blaney‘s last-lap past on Tyler Reddick to take home his fourth victory of the 2026 season.
Joining Schneck this week are Frontstretch reporters Dalton Hopkins and Michael Massie, who give their thoughts concerning NASCAR Championship Weekend.
Wrapping up the show, Schneck takes a look at the final 2026 Cup Series point standings.
