For the first time since 2019, Homestead-Miami Speedway is hosting NASCAR’s Championship Weekend, November 6–8, 2026. Under NASCAR’s new rotating championship model — part of the sport’s 30th season — the Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series will all crown their 2026 champions on the same weekend at the same track, something that hasn’t happened in Homestead since Kyle Busch swept the title in 2019. It’s a fitting homecoming: Homestead-Miami Speedway hosted the championship every year from 2002 through 2019, and this one-weekend-only return has race fans from across the country already booking their trip south.
Why a House Beats a Hotel Room for Race Weekend
Championship Weekend isn’t a one-and-done ticket. Most serious fans are in town Friday through Sunday for final practice, qualifying, and all three championship races — three days of early mornings, late nights, and a crew that wants to debrief the race (and argue about strategy calls) somewhere bigger than a hotel room. Homestead-Miami Speedway sits roughly 35 miles south of Hollywood, FL, an easy drive up I-95 or the Turnpike, which puts Kismet Getaways’ Total Oasis property within comfortable striking distance of the track while keeping your group near the beach instead of stuck in a hotel strip near the speedway.
Total Oasis Was Built for a Crew Like This
Total Oasis combines five connected units — Oasis, Sunrise, and Sunset A, B, and C — into one property that sleeps up to 30 guests, which is exactly the math a race-weekend group needs: enough private bedrooms for everyone to actually sleep, plus shared kitchens and outdoor space to spread out after a long day at the track. Splitting costs across a big group in a multi-unit rental often works out far cheaper per person than blocking several hotel rooms, and nobody has to argue about who’s cooking breakfast before the gates open Friday.
Make It a Full South Florida Weekend
Race days typically wrap by early evening, which leaves time to walk the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, grab dinner at one of the oceanfront restaurants minutes from Total Oasis, or just unwind by the pool before the next day’s green flag. Kismet Getaways has hosted everything from family reunions to bachelor parties in this same property, backed by 1,600+ guest reviews across platforms from groups who’ve made it their South Florida home base.
Book Before the Grandstands Fill Up
With NASCAR crowning three champions at Homestead for the first time in years, this weekend is expected to draw bigger crowds than a typical regular-season race, and lodging close to the track tends to fill up fast. If your crew is heading down for Championship Weekend, November 6–8, reach out to Kismet Getaways now to lock in Total Oasis before the dates are gone.
