THANK YOU, RACE FANS.
From all of
us here at Homestead-Miami Speedway, we want to thank you for yet another
outstanding Ford Championship Weekend. Without you, this new Chase for the
NASCAR Sprint Cup format and the Championship Round would not have been
possible, and we are thrilled that you were here to witness Kevin Harvick’s
first win at Homestead-Miami Speedway, and first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Championship title.
We hope you
enjoyed the beautiful weather, and all of the exciting and fun fan areas that
Homestead-Miami Speedway had to offer. With the spectacle being broadcast to
more than 200 countries in 24 languages, fans from around the world were able to
watch the thrilling racing with you this past Sunday at the Ford EcoBoost 400.
History was
made once again at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as three new champions were
crowned. Matt Crafton became the first back-to-back NASCAR Camping World Truck
Series Champion on Friday night. Chase Elliott claimed the title as the
youngest Champion in a NASCAR National Series on Saturday. And it all concluded
with the crowning of a new NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion, and Ford EcoBoost
400 winner, Kevin Harvick.
We also want
to thank you for making your way to the frontstretch for our amazing pre-race
show. Between Jason Aldean, DJ Irie, Caleb Johnson and the flyover,
Homestead-Miami Speedway was the place to be in South Florida on Sunday. Dozens
of celebrities descended on Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Ford EcoBoost 400,
including NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan, 2014 American Idol winner Caleb
Johnson, legendary voice of the UFC Bruce Buffer, and rapper and South Florida
native Flo Rida, and we hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as they did.
Again, thank
you for making the 2014 Ford Championship Weekend a success. Without you, this
weekend wouldn’t be possible, and we look forward to the future and hosting the
2015 Ford Championship Weekend, November 20-22, 2015. Have a great holiday
season.
