Following the 2016 Season, the Circle-Sport relationship with Leavine Family Racing will come to an end and the two teams will each go their separate ways. Circle Sport will field a car or sell/lease a charter in 2017 while Leavine Family Racing will remain as it's own gaining a charter from Tommy Baldwin Racing.

his career and McDowell is chasing his best career finish in points. McDowell currently sits 30th in points. McDowell is 41 points behind 29th place Landon Cassill and with some luck on Sunday, McDowell could finish 29th place in points. Circle Sport Leavine Family Racing will bring back the #59 this weekend for the second time this season as it previously raced in the Daytona 500 where Michael brought home a 15th place finish.
McDowell has raced at Homestead six times in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. His best start in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series came in 2009 where McDowell started 18th driving for Tommy Baldwin Racing. McDowell's best finish at Homestead came in 2014 where McDowell finished 21st. McDowell looks to cap off a career season with the best finish possible at Homestead and hopes to rebound from his finish last weekend in Homestead. (Koelle,2016)
