NASCAR at Homestead-Miami 2021: Start time, lineup, TV schedule and more for Dixie Vodka 400

The 2021 NASCAR season has gotten off to a surprising start with two first-time Cup Series winners in the first two races.

Underdog Michael McDowell opened the season by winning the Daytona 500 after  escaping a big last-lap crash ignited by Brad Keselowski — making a move for the win — and his Penske teammate and late leader Joey Logano. One week later, Christopher Bell pulled off a stunner in his second season in NASCAR's premier series, passing Logano coming to the white flag on the Daytona road course.

So, what will race No. 3 bring?

Here's all the information you need to get ready for Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway:

• 35 percent: Team owner points ranking
