Description

The 2015 Ford EcoBoost 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race held on November 22, 2015, at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. Contested over 267 laps on the 1.5 mile (2.4 km) oval, it was the 36th and final race of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. Kyle Busch won the race and the championship, his fifth of the season and first of his career. Kevin Harvick finished second. Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Kyle Larson rounded out the top-five. Jeff Gordon finished sixth in his 797th and final career start and Martin Truex, Jr. rounded out the Chase drivers in 14th.

Denny Hamlin won the pole for the race and led zero laps on his way to a 10th-place finish. Keselowski led a race high of 86 laps on his way to a third-place finish. The race had 18 lead changes among eight different drivers, as well as seven caution flag periods for 30 laps.

This was the 34th victory for Busch, fifth of the season, first at Homestead-Miami Speedway and sixth at the track for Joe Gibbs Racing. It clinched his first career Sprint Cup Series championship. Despite being the winning manufacturer, Toyota finished the season 68-points back of Chevrolet who had clinched the manufacturers championship the week prior at Phoenix.

With the introduction of NASCAR's team charter program in 2016, this race marks the final race with a 43-car field.

The Ford EcoBoost 400 was carried by NBC Sports on the broadcast NBC network for the American television audience. The radio broadcast for the race was carried by the Motor Racing Network and Sirius XM NASCAR Radio.
