context_page_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 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 scheduled 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.
context_section_description: After the final stop, Kyle Busch continued to run in second until he was passed by Larson with 14 laps to go. Harvick continued to run in fourth. Gordon ran in 10th and Truex ran between 12th and 14th in the running order. After passing Busch for second, Larson began to reel in race leader Keselowski. Debris on the front stretch brought out the seventh caution of the race with 12 laps to go. It was for a piece of metal lying under the flag stand while NBC mistakenly showed what appeared to be a plastic bottle on the apron as the debris that brought out the caution. Keselowski's crew chief Paul Wolfe told FoxSports.com after the race that he was "trying to understand what it was for. I didn't ever really see what it was for, but I guess that's just the way it goes. I figured we obviously had a nice lead there and should have been able to cruise into Victory Lane, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be."
  The race restarted with seven laps to go. Kyle Busch powered by Keselowski exiting turn 2 to take the lead with six to go. He would go on to win the race and earn his first ever NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.
