The is a
NASCAR Nextel Cup Stock Car Race held at
Homestead-Miami Speedway in
Homestead ,
Florida .
This race is relatively new in the NASCAR circuit, first appearing in
1999 . Since
2002 , the Ford 400 has been part of the
Ford Championship Weekend , or the last week of the NASCAR season. Starting in
2004 , it has also been the final race in the "
Chase For The Cup ". This turned out to be a major success in 2004 as an exciting race unfolded as the points leader changed multiple times during the race until the end, when
Kurt Busch held off
Jimmie Johnson by eight points, the closest final margin in NASCAR history.
NBC televised the race from 1999-2006, and was the only race carried by the network for the first two years. In 2007, coverage will transfer to
ABC .
