History

The inaugural race was held in 1999. This race was the final race in the NASCAR Cup Series season from 2002 until 2019, as well as the final race of the NASCAR Cup Series' NASCAR Cup Series playoffs from 2004 to 2019. As the season finale, it was also part of the Ford Championship Weekend, which consisted of two other races: the Ford EcoBoost 200 (now the Baptist Health 200) for the NASCAR Truck Series and the Ford EcoBoost 300 (now the Contender Boats 300) for the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In 2020, the race was moved from November to March after the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, meaning it no longer served as the championship race. The fall race at Phoenix Raceway, which had been the second-to-last race of the season, became the new championship race for the Cup Series. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 race ended up being postponed from the original March 15 date to June 14, 2020. In 2021, the race was held in February. In 2022, the race was moved again from February to October as the third-to-last race of the season, and this is where it is on the Cup Series schedule today. Ford ended their title sponsorship of this race and the Xfinity and Truck Series races at Homestead-Miami after they were moved from the last races of the season to March. Dixie Vodka became the title sponsor of the Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami in 2020 and remained for the next two years. In 2023, Mobil 1 became the title sponsor of this race and they decided to name the race in tribute to their driver, Kevin Harvick, as it was his final season as a full-time NASCAR driver.
