Report
= Background
=Homestead-Miami Speedway is a motor racing track located in Homestead, Florida. The track, which has several configurations, has promoted several series of racing, including NASCAR, the NTT IndyCar Series and the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series.
From 2002 to 2019, Homestead-Miami Speedway hosted the final race of the season in all three of NASCAR's series: the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series; due to Ford Motor Company sponsoring all three races the weekend was known as the 'Ford Championship Weekend'. The track has since held races on different dates in 2020 (June) and 2021 (February), which were both effected by the COVID-19 pandemic, before being moved back into the Playoffs as the second race of the Round of 8 in 2022, with the date being kept for 2023.
In 2023, it was announced that Mobil 1 would be replacing Dixie Vodka as the race's sponsor after two years. Mobil 1 would then proceed to name the race after Kevin Harvick and his 4EVER appreciation campaign, as he would be set to retire from NASCAR after the 2023 season.
This race would be the second year straight in a row John Hunter Nemechek would make his one-off Cup start at the same track.
