NASCAR Weather: 2025 Cup Series at Homestead - Straight Talk Wireless 400 latest forecast

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Homestead, Florida this weekend for the Straight Talk Wireless 400.

Christopher Bell will be hoping to get back to winning ways in round seven of the 2025 season, after a penalty took him out of contention at last weekend's Pennzoil 400.

Ahead of the race weekend, wildfires threatened the Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Truck Series races at Homestead, but an official statement has since been released suggesting that the races should be able to go ahead.

Wildfires have been raging through South Miami-Dade County recently, and the weekend's weather forecast is unlikely to provide relief from the fires, with hot, dry conditions forecasted for the region.

Will there be any chance of some weather interruption to the Cup Series race at Homestead? Let's take a look.
