Another opportunity for drivers to secure a place in the Championship 4 will be on the line for the remaining Playoff drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series this Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Earnhardt Jr. earned a fifth-place finish in his last Xfinity Series race at Homestead in 2020. John Hunter Nemechek leads the Xfinity Series points standings.
Earnhardt Jr., 21-time Cup Series race winner and “The Mayor” of NASCAR Jeff Burton, and Daytona 500-winning crew chief Steve Letarte will serve as analysts for the Cup Series race alongside lead NASCAR race announcer Rick Allen.
