NASCAR Cup Series

It is no surprise to 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte that the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship is still up for grabs entering the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway’s 1.5-mile oval.

ESPN NASCAR analysts Dale Jarrett, Rusty Wallace and Ricky Craven, all former NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers, will be involved in ESPN's coverage of the final race of the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, the Ford 400, on Sunday at Florida’s Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Former Dodge driver Bill Elliott (2001) and current Dodge driver Kurt Busch (2002) are the only two Sprint Cup winner’s at HMS to start from the pole. Busch also started from the pole in 2004.

Biffle on Homestead: “I really like racing at Homestead. It’s a great place for the season finale and I have no doubt that the race on Sunday will be one of the most exciting we’ve seen all season."

Kenseth on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway: “Homestead is one of the few tracks they did a really good job on it when it was redesigned with the changes they made. There are two good grooves and you can really pass there since there’s plenty of room."

Ragan on racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway: “Homestead is the last race of the year and we should be a factor to win. It has been a good track for us in the past and it really seems to suit the Roush Fenway style."

Entering the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season finale, only two remain. Homestead-Miami Speedway and Kentucky Speedway.
