After the Alsco Uniforms 302, the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series shifted to the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida.
Contender Boats 300 will be live on USA Network and MRN at 3 pm ET. The first second of the Round of 8 will be contested on the 1.5-mile oval track. A total of 38 Xfinity drivers will compete over 200 laps in a 300-mile race to secure a chance at driving down Victory Lane.
Motorsport journalist Bob Pockrass shared the starting line-up for Contender Boats 300 on X, formerly called Twitter.
