“We always look to deliver a quality product here at
Homestead-Miami Speedway, and like us, Straight Talk Wireless
prides itself on bringing the greatest value to their customers,”
said Homestead-Miami Speedway President Guillermo Santa Cruz. “This

Cup Series Playoff action on track during the Straight Talk
Wireless 400.”
Straight Talk Wireless is available only at Walmart or via

“We are thrilled to be the entitlement sponsor of the NASCAR Cup
Series Playoff race and to announce the very first Straight Talk
Wireless 400,” said Cheryl Gresham, Chief Marketing Officer at
Verizon Value. “Having a race dedicated to the Straight Talk brand
will drive awareness for the brand in Miami, which is a top market
for us. NASCAR fans are Walmart shoppers and Walmart shoppers can
easily get Straight Talk when shopping in-store. This sponsorship
makes a lot of sense for us and will drive awareness for Straight
Talk in a major way.”
During the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs at Homestead-Miami
Speedway last year, an intense battle between Christopher Bell,
William Byron, and Ryan Blaney ensued during the late stages of the
race. With three laps to go, Bell pulled away from Blaney to secure
his spot in the Championship 4 at the season finale at Phoenix
Raceway. This win marked Bell’s first Cup Series victory at
Homestead-Miami Speedway. Blaney would go on to win the 2023 Cup
Series championship.
The NASCAR Playoffs race weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway
begins with a doubleheader on Saturday, Oct. 26. The day kicks off
