It all comes down to this. Four drivers — Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. — remain in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, and the best finisher among them at the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway wins the 2015 Sprint Cup championship. NBC airs the race live on Sunday, Nov. 22, at 3pm ET, with a special NBCSN Hot Pass video feed airing simultaneously on NBCSN. NBC Sports’ Executive Producer Sam Flood says NBCSN Hot Pass is “a multi-screen experience where all four of the contending drivers will be available in one of the boxes on the screen so you can watch those four drivers the entire time, plus a composite race feed, so you’ll see the race, as well.” Both NBC’s traditional race coverage and NBCSN Hot Pass will stream live on NBC Sports Live Extra.

“It’s only the second year with this Chase format, and last year we saw really an epic battle with four teams that came down to needing to win the race at Miami,” says NBC NASCAR analyst Steve Letarte. “When I look at the four contenders this year, I don’t see how it could be any different. We have a four time champion, we have the defending champion, a single car team from Colorado, a superstar coming back from major injury. I think we have four great story lines and four competitors that are all very deserving to be here. When you look at their statistics from Homestead Miami, it would really shock me if it doesn’t take a win to win this championship.”
As for the storybook ending to Gordon’s NASCAR career, analyst Kyle Petty likes his chances. “I’m going to put Gordon there just because of big game players step up when the time is there, and Jeff Gordon likes this racetrack,” Petty says. “He’s said a number of times how much he enjoys racing here, and yeah, I’m a believer that good things happen to good people, and there’s no better person that’s come through this sport and more deserving to go out a winner and a champion.”
