NASCAR Considers New Venues for Championship Race

NASCAR is actively contemplating a rotation system for its championship race, moving beyond the familiar settings of Phoenix Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. Chief Operating Officer Steve O'Donnell highlighted a growing fan interest in exploring new venues, although any change would not be implemented before 2026, as the 2025 schedule already designates Phoenix for this event.

Las Vegas Motor Speedway has emerged as a notable contender for hosting the championship, alongside other potential markets that are currently not part of NASCAR’s venue lineup. This initiative aims to enhance the event's appeal, drawing in new fans and expanding its reach across the nation. As discussions unfold, the final decision remains pending, with further details expected to surface in the future.
