What time does the NASCAR race start today? TV schedule, channel for 2024 Homestead-Miami playoff race

Homestead-Miami Speedway is set to rev up the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs this Sunday afternoon, hosting its exclusive postseason race—the only oval on the schedule to do so solely in the playoffs.

The 267-lap Straight Talk Wireless 400, set around the fast, four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) circuit in Homestead, Florida, marks the second race in the semifinal round of the 10-race playoff journey, following last weekend’s opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

This season’s playoff-only tracks have already seen their fair share of action. Watkins Glen International made its playoff debut with a round of 16 showdown, and the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval set the stage for the dramatic round of 12 cutoff.
