Ford Championship Weekend

Ford Championship Weekend is the name given to the final race weekend of the NASCAR season, where all three of its major series run their last events of the year and officially crown their series champions.BThe race weekend takes place at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Since 2002, Ford Motor Company has served as title sponsor for the entire weekend's festivities, including the races themselves.

The Ford EcoBoost 200 begins the race weekend on Friday night, with the Camping World Truck Series crowning its champion. The Xfinity Series crowns its champion following the Ford EcoBoost 300, run on Saturday afternoon. The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series brings the weekend and the overall season to a close with the Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday. As of 2016, each series' event is the final event of their respective Chases; the Truck and Xfinity Series followed the lead of the Cup Series, whose Chase for the Sprint Cup has been run since 2004.

After the 2001 NASCAR season came to an end, the organization decided to realign its three major series' schedules so all three of its series ended its season at the same track in the same weekend. Homestead-Miami Speedway had been on the NASCAR schedule since 1995, when the then-Busch Series added it to its schedule as its final race of the season. Between then and 2001, it was the only series that ended its season at the track. Traditionally, the Truck Series had ended its season in the western United States, with Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Auto Club Speedway, and Phoenix International Raceway serving as the location for the finale since the series began racing in 1995. Homestead was added to the schedule in 1996, often serving as an accompanying race to the Indy Racing League's early season stop at the track (the Truck Series and the IRL IndyCar Series have shared race weekends frequently since both series were founded in 1995, but it is not as common as it once was).
